Don Mclean — Pride Parade Chords

Don McLean — The Pride Parade
Chorded by GWiZ (gwiz665@gmail.com).

I haven't put the chords in the exactly correct line, so it might be a bit harder for at 
to place them all, but the chords should be pretty accurate. I might indent the chords 
if I find the time to do it.

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
