G A G A Dm [Verse 1]
Dm
Hup, two, three, four, marching down the street

C                            Dm
Rollin' of the drums and the tramping of the feet

Dm
General salutes and the mothers wave and weep

C              E/B    A
Here comes the big parade

G          A     G      A
Don't be afraid, prices paid

         Dm
One more parade
[Chorus]
   F                    C
So young, so strong, so ready for the war

Dm                        A/C#           A
So willing to go and die upon a foreign shore

Gm                        A              C
All march together, everybody looks the same

F            E              A
So there is no one you can blame

G          A      G         A
Don't be ashamed, light the flame

           Dm
One more parade

Listen for the sound and listen for the noise

Few years ago their guns were only toys

Here comes the big parade

Don't be afraid, prices paid

One more parade
[Verse 3]
Dm
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands

C                          Dm
Trained to kill as they're trained to stand

Ten thousand ears need only one command

C              E/B    A
Here comes the big parade

G          A     G      A
Don't be afraid, prices paid

[Verse 4]
Dm
Cold hard stares on faces so proud

C                         Dm
Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd

Dm
And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds

C              E/B    A
Here comes the big parade

G          A     G      A
Don't be afraid, prices paid

G          A      G       A     G        A
Don't be ashamed, war's a game, world in flames

             Dm
So start the parade
