Pride Parade by Don Mclean
Pride Parade
Capo 2
Dm Am Dm Am
Am G Am
2x Am G F E
It started out quite simply, as complex things can do;
A set of sad transparencies 'til no one could see through,
Dm C Dm F-G
But least of all the one inside, behind the iron glass;
Am G F G
A prisonor of all your dreams that never come to pass.
C Am F-G-C
Alone you stand corrupted by the vision that you sought,
Am Em F G
And blinded by your hunger all your apetites are bought,
Am Em F G
But in spite of what becomes of you, your image will remain;
Am G F E Am
A reminder of your constant loss, a symbol of your gain.
CHORUS:
D Am
And your friends are together,
Dm Am
Where the people are all gathered,
G Am
All along the road you travelled all your days.
2x Am G F E
And soon you have succumbed to what the others all believe,
And though the lie affects them still it's you that they decieve,
Dm C Dm F-G
And all at once you're lost within the emptieness of you,
Am G F G
And there's no one left who's near enough to tell you what to do.
C Am F-G-C
You're left with nothing but your self-potential in the dark,
Am Em F G
Like tinder resting on a rock, protected from the spark,
Am Em F G
But your fire just consumes you, you alone can feel the pain,
Am G F E Am
And you stand in all your glory and you know you can't complain.
CHORUS
2x Am G F E
But you are surely just as evil as the worst my tongue can tell,
For you'll never face my heaven and I'll not endure your hell.
Dm C Dm F-G
You have lost your chance to mingle with your constant quiet lies;
Am G F G
Deceptions hidden with your lips, but spoken with your eyes.
C Am F-G-C
For I know you for what you are not for that's really all you are.
Am Em F G
And your talents of a minor order seem to stretch too far.
Am Em F G
And we both know that this masquerade can't carry on too long.
Am G F E Am
You're deep inside the Pride Parade, but where do you belong?
CHORUS
