Your Bmdemons, and aAll the non belGievers
The pD/F#lans that they have Emmade A
Because Done day I’ll A/C#leave you

SometDimes I get the A/C#feeling she’s waD7/Ctching over meG

And thoAugh you’re Gdead and gone believe me
Your mAemory will carry oDn, we’ll A/C#carry Bmon
And Ain my Gheart I can’t contain it
The antheAm won’t explain it
A Dwoman sends you A/C#reeling from dD7/F#ecimated drGeams
Your misery and hDate will kill us aAll
So pDaint it black and A/C#take it back
Let’s sBmhout it loud and Gclear

To carry oDn, we’ll A/C#carry Bmon
And thoAugh you’re Gdead and gone believe me
Your mAemory will carry oDn, we’ll A/C#carry Bmon
And Athough you’re Gbroken and defeated
Your weAary widow maArchGes
