[C] [G/B] [Am] [G] [F] [Em] [Dm] [G]
When [C]I was.. a [G/B]young boy
My [Am]father.. took [G]me into the ci[F]ty
To [Em]see a marching [Dm]band..[G]
He said, [C]son, when.. you grow [G/B]up
Would [Am]you be.. the [G]savior of the bro[F]ken
The [Em]beaten and the [Dm]damned? [G]
He said, [C]will you.. de[G/B]feat them
Your [Am]demons.. and [G]all the non-belie[F]vers
The [Em]plans that they have [Dm]made? [G]
Because [C]one day, I’ll [G/B]leave you
A [Am]phantom.. to [G]lead you in the sum[F]mer
To [Em]join the Black Pa[Dm]rade..[G]

(Intro)
[C] [G/B] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
Some[C]times I get the [G]feeling
She’s [Am]watching over [F]me..
And [F]other times I [C]feel like I should [G]go..
And [C]through it all, the [G]rise and fall
The [Am]bodies in the st[F]reets
And [F]when you’re gone
we [C]want you all to k[G]now..
(Chorus)
We’ll carry [C]on.. we’ll [G/B]carry [Am]on..
And [G]though you’re [F]dead and gone, believe me
Your [G]memory will carry [C]on, we’ll [G/B]carry [Am]on..
And [G]in my [F]heart, I can’t contain it
The [G]anthem won’t explain it
A [C]world that sends you [G]reeling
From [Am]decimated [F]dreams
Your [F]misery and [C]hate will kill us [G]all..
So [C]paint it black and [G]take it back
Let’s [Am]shout it loud and [F]clear
De[F]fiant to the [C]end, we hear the [G]call..
(Chorus)
to carry [C]on, we’ll [G/B]carry [Am]on
And [G]though you’re [F]dead and gone, believe me
Your [G]memory will carry [C]on, we’ll [G/B]carry [Am]on..
And [G]though you’re [F]broken and defeated
Your [G]weary widow marches
[E]On and on we carry through the [Am]fears (oooh)
[E]Disappointed faces of your [Am]peers (oooh)
[F]Take a look at me
‘Cause I [G#]could [G]not [F]care [G]at [C]all
Do or die,[G/B] you’ll never make me
[Am] Because the world..
[G] will never take my [F]heart
Go and try,[C] you’ll never break me
[F] We want it all,[G] we wanna play this [C]part
I won’t explain..[G/B] or say I’m sorry
[Am] I’m unashamed,[G] I’m gonna show my s[F]cars
Give a cheer,[C] for all the broken
[F] Listen here,[G] because it’s who we are
[D]I’m just a man,[A/C#] I’m not a hero
[Bm] Just a boy..[A] who had to sing this [G]song
Just a man,[D] I’m not a hero
[A]I.. don’t.. care..
(Chorus)
We’ll carry [D]on, we’ll [A/C#]carry [Bm]on
And [A]though you’re [G]dead and gone, believe me
Your [A]memory will carry [D]on, we’ll [A/C#]carry [Bm]on
And [A]though you’re [G]broken and defeated
Your [A]weary widow marches [D]on
do or die,[A/C#] you’ll never make me
[Bm] Because the world,
[A] will never take my [G]heart
Go and try,[G] you’ll never break me
[A]We want it all, we wanna play this [D]part
Do or die,[A/C#] you’ll never make me
[Bm] Because the world,
[A] will never take my [G]heart
Go and try,[G] you’ll never break me
[A]We want it all, we wanna play this [D]part..
