Pride Parade Don McLean
[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]But[C] l[Dm]eas[F-G]t of all the one inside, behind the iron glass;
A[Am] pr[G]is[F]on[G]or of all your dreams that never come to pass.
[C]Al[Am]one[F-G-C] you stand corrupted by the vision that you sought,
[Am]And[Em] bl[F]in[G]ded by your hunger all your apetites are bought,
[Am]But[Em] in[F] s[G]pite of what becomes of you, your image will remain;
[Am]A r[G]em[F]in[E]de[Am]r of your constant loss, a symbol of your gain.
CHORUS:
And your fr[D]iends are to[Am]gether,
Where the p[Dm]eople are all [Am]gathered,
All along the road you t[G]ravelled all your d[Am]ays.
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]And[C] a[Dm]ll [F-G]at once you're lost within the emptieness of you,
[Am]And[G] t[F]he[G]re's no one left who's near enough to tell you what to do.
[C]Yo[Am]u'r[F-G-C]e left with nothing but your self-potential in the dark,
[Am]Lik[Em]e t[F]in[G]der resting on a rock, protected from the spark,
[Am]But[Em] yo[F]ur[G] fire just consumes you, you alone can feel the pain,
[Am]And[G] y[F]ou[E] s[Am]tand 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]You[C] h[Dm]ave[F-G] lost your chance to mingle with your constant quiet lies;
[Am]Dec[G]ep[F]ti[G]ons hidden with your lips, but spoken with your eyes.
[C]Fo[Am]r I[F-G-C] know you for what you are not for that's really all you are.
[Am]And[Em] yo[F]ur[G] talents of a minor order seem to stretch too far.
[Am]And[Em] we[F] b[G]oth know that this masquerade can't carry on too long.
[Am]You[G]'r[F]e [E]de[Am]ep inside the Pride Parade, but where do you belong?
CHORUS
