[Verse 1]

     G               D
Sometimes I get the feeling
       Dm            C
She's watching over me
                     G                 D
And other times I feel like I should go
     G                      D
And through it all, the rise and fall
     Dm              C
The bodies in the streets
                         G                D
And when you're gone we want you all to know
 

[Chorus 1]

             G         D        Em
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
   G               C             
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
      D                  G        D       Em
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
   G       C        
And in my heart, I can't contain it,
    D
The anthem won't explain it.


[Verse 2]

   G                    D
A world that sends you reeling.
      Dm            C
From decimated dreams.
                  G                 D
Your misery and hate will kill us all.
    G                     D
So paint it black and take it back!
         Dm                C
Let's shout it loud and clear.
                 G                D
Defiant to the end, we hear the call.
 

[Chorus 2]

          G         D      Em
to carry on, we'll carry on.
      G            C
And though you're dead and gone, believe me.
      D                 G       D        Em
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on.
   G               C         
And though you're broken and defeated.
      D               
Your weary widow marches.
 

[Verse 3]

B                                  Em
On and on we carry through the fears.  Ahh Ahh Ahh 
B                             Em 
Disappointed faces of your peers.  Ahh Ahh Ahh 
 C          
Take a look at me
                           G
'Cause I could not care at all


[Bridge]

          D
Do or die, you'll never make me
Em                G                     C 
 Because the world, will never take my heart.
          G  
Go and try, you'll never break me
C              D                     G
We want it all, we wanna play this part.
               D                Em
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
             G                    C
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
             G
Give a cheer, for all the broken.
C           D                      A
 Listen here, because it's who we are.
              E               Gbm
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
          A                      D
Just a boy who had to sing this song
          A
Just a man, I'm not a hero
E 
I   don't   care!
 

[Chorus]

             A       E        Gbm
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
  A                D         
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
      E                  A      E        Gbm
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
  A                D      
And though you're broken and defeated
        E                   A
You're weary widow marches on- do or die, -
E
 you'll never make me
Gbm               A                     D
 Because the world, will never take my heart.
