[Verse1]
[G]When I was a [D/F#]young boy,
[Em]My father took [D]me into the
[C]city to[G/B]to see a marching b[Am]band. [D]
He said, "So[G]"Son when you gro[D/F#]grow up,
would [Em]you be the s[D]saviour of the
[C]broken, the[G/B] beaten and the d[Am]amned?" [D]
He said [G]"Will you [D/F#]defeat them,
your[Em]your demons, and a[D]all the non [C]
believers, the p[G/B]lans that they have [Am]made?" [D]
Because [G]one day I'll [D/F#]leave you,
A p[Em]phantom to [D]lead you in the
[C]summer, to [G/B]join the black p[Am]parade." [D]

[Verse2]
[G]Sometimes I get the [D/F#]feeling she's wa[Em]watching over me[C]me.
And oth[C]other times I [G]feel like I should g[D]go.
[G]And through it all, the r[D/F#]ise and
fall, the b[Em]odies in the s[C]treets.
[C]And when you're gone we [G]want you all to [D]know.
[Chorus]
We'll carry o[G]on,
We'll[D/F#]We'll carry [Em]on
And tho[D]though you're [C]dead and gon[G]gone believe me
Your m[D]memory will
carry [G]on [D/F#]
We'll carry [Em]on [D]
And in my [C]heart I can't contain it
The anthe[D]anthem won't explain it.
[Verse3]
[G]A woman sends you[D/F#] reeling from d[Em]ecimated dr[C]eams
Your misery and h[G]hate will kill us a[D]all.
[G]So paint it black and [D/F#]take it back
[Em]Lets shout it loud and [C]clear
[C]Defiant to the e[G]end
We hear the ca[D]call
[Chorus]
We'll carry o[G]on,

And though you're [C]broken and defeated
Your we[D]weary widow march[C]marches
[Bridge]
[B]On and on we carry through the f[Em]fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
[B]Disappointed faces of your [Em]peers
Ooh oh ohhhh

[C]Give a cheer, [G]for all the broken
[C]Listen here, [D]because it's who we are
[A]I'm just a man, I[E/G#]I'm not a hero
[F#m]I'm just a boy, w[E]who's meant to sing this song
