When I was a young boy,
Em G C
My father, took me into the city
G Em Am (optional D lead in)
To see a marching band
G D Em
He said, “Son when you grow up,
G C
will you be the saviour of the broken,
G Em Am
the beaten and the damned?”
G D Em
He said, “Will you defeat them, your demons,
G C
and all the non-believers, the
G Em Am
plans that they have made?
G D Em
Because one day, I’ll leave you, a phantom,
G C
to lead you in the summer, to
G Em Am
join the black parade.”
