Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Befo[G]re[Gsus4][G][Gsus4]
[G]the parade passes by,
I'm gonna go in and taste
Saturday's [Am]highlight.
[D]Before the [Am]parade passes [Dm]by,[Am]
I'm gonna get some life [D]back [G]in my life.
I'm ready to move out of the front
I've had enough of just passing [C]by life
With the [G]rest of them,
the [C#dim]be st of the[Bbdim]m
[C#dim]I'll hold[G] my head up high[A]
I've got [G]gold again,
I've [A]got drive again
[G]Feel my heart coming
[A]alive again
Time before the [Am]parade [D]passes by
[G]

[Verse 2]
Look at that crowd up ahead

[Verse 3]
Yes, then [G]hear that brass harmony [Am]growin'
[D]Look at that

[Verse 4]
[Am]crowd up [D]ahead

[Verse 5]
Pardon me [Am]if my old sp[D]irit is sh[G]owin'

[Verse 6]
All those [G]lights over there
They seem to be telling
me where I'm [C]going
And the [G]whistle
blows
And the [Bbdim]cymbals crash
[G]Sparklers light the sky[A]
I'm [G]gonna raise the roof
I'm [A]gonna carry on
[G]Give me an old trombone and [A]old baton
Before the [Am]parade[D]
Passes [G]by[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][G][C]
The [G]rest of them,
the be[Bbdim]st of the[C#dim]m,
I can [G]hold my head up [A]high
I've got a [G]goal again,
I've got a [A]drive again,
[G]feel my heart coming [A]alive again
Before the [Am]parade [D]passes [G]by
Before the [Am]parade [D]passes by
[G]
