* When I was a

   
 young boy,
            
My father, too

             
k me into the 

  
city
           
To see a march

             (   
ing band
             
He said, "Son 

             
when you grow 

            
up, will you b

             
e the saviour 

             
of the broken,

     
 the 
           
beaten and the

  
 damned?"
             
He said, "Will

             
 you defeat th

            
em, your demon

             
s, and all the

           
 non-believers

, the 
            
plans that the

       
y have made? 
             
Because one da

             
y, I'll leave 

            
you, a phantom

             
, to lead you 

         
in the summer,

 to 
           
join the black

    
 parade."

*(THIS SECTION HAS THE EXACT SAME CHORD PROGRESSION AS THE FIRST TIME THESE LYRICS ARE SANG)
When I was,
A young boy
My father, took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
(THEN STRUM SOME D....AND THEN STRUM G AND LET IT RING TO LEAD INTO THE NEXT PART)

(NOW, LETS CHANGE THE PROGRESSION A BIT....FINALLY)
      

             
Sometimes I ge

And other time

I should go
             
And through it

           
 all, the rise

 and fall
            
The bodies in 

     
the street
             
And when you'r

THE SINGER JUST SAYS "WE'LL CARRY ON" OVER AND OVER AT THE END, SO IF YOU WANT TO 
SEE HOW THAT WORKS, HERE IT IS:

ALTERNATE PART TO THE ENDING

             
And though you

     
're broken and

 defeated
             
Your weary wid

...)
 
              
      *we'll c

     *we'll ca

            
rry*  *we'll c
