The Pride Parade Chords by Don Mclean

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ It started out quite simply [G] as complex [F#] things can do _ [Bm] a set of [D] sad _
[G] transparencies till no one [F#] could see through
[F#m]
[Em] But least [D] of all the one [Em] inside behind the iron _ [A] _ [B] glass
a [D] prisoner of all your [G] dreams that never come [A] to pass
_ _ _ [D] _ _
[Bm] Alone you stand [G] corrupted by the [A] vision that [D] you saw
_ [Bm] _ _ [F#m] Blinded by your [G] hunger all your [A] appetites are bought
[Bm]
but in spite of what becomes [E] of you your [Em] image will [A] remain [Bm] _ a
reminder of your constant [G] loss a [F#] symbol of your [Bm] _ gain and
[E] Your _ friends are [Bm] together _
_ Where [E] the people [A] are all [Bm] _ gathered
_ All along the road [A] you traveled all [B] your day _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] [Em] And _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ soon [D] you have [G] succumbed to what the others [F#] all believe [Bm] _ and
Though the lie affects [G] them still it's you [F#] that they deceive
[F#m] _ [Em] And all at [D] once you're [Em] lost within the emptiness of [A] you
_ [B] _
And [D] there's no one left [G] who's near enough to [A] tell you what to do _ _ _
[D] You're left [Bm] with nothing, but [G] yourself _
[A] [D] potential in the dark
_ [Bm] Like [F#m] tinder resting on [G] a rock protected [A] from the spark
_ [Bm] But your fire just consumes [E] you you alone can [Em] feel the [A] pain
[Bm] _ Then you stand in all your glory, [G] and you know you [F#] can't [Bm] complain _
But [E] your friends _ are [Bm] together
_ Where [Em] the people _ are [Bm] all gathered
_ All along the road you [A] _ traveled all [Bm] your day _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But
You are surely just as evil as [G] the worst my [F#] tongue can tell
[Bm] For you'll [D] never face my [G] heaven, and I'll not endure [F#]
your hell
[Em] You have lost the [D] chance to mingle [Em] by your constant quiet [A] _
[B] lies
_ _ [Bm] Deceptions hidden with [G] your lips, but [A] spoken with your eyes _ _
_ [D] For I know [Bm] you for what you [G] are not for [A] that's really [D] all you are
[Bm] _
And your [F#m] talents of a minor [G] order seem to [A] stretch too [Bm] far
And we both [D] know that this _ [E] masquerade can't carry [G] on too [A] long
[B] _ You're deep [Bm] inside the pride parade, [G] but where do [F#m] you?
_ [B] belong
_ And [E] your friends _ are [Bm] _
together
_ [Em] Where the people _ are [Bm] all _ gathered
_ All along the road you [A] _ traveled _ _ all [B] your day _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
