Pride And The Pallor by Bad Religion ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIDE AND THE PALLOR - Bad Religion ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords figured out by: Viktor (binimgarten@yahoo.de) Don't know how accurate this is, but it sure is fun to play the song this way on an acoustic guitar and sing along. __Intro__ G | D | Em | C G | D | G | D __Verse__ G D Papa had a wife and kids, he kept them on a leash Em C and he bid them all to do his every deed. G D When he was a kid he was treated just the same Em C so he hid his feelings from his family. __Pre-Chorus__ G D Lost as an island out at sea, Em D resistant to the gentle waves of empathy, yeah! __Chorus__ C D Em Papa and his family always on parade C D Em Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade. G D But time will tell C D Em as their world crumbles to hell. D What they created... C D G Em ...was a family story no one will tell C D G Em It's a photo album too terrible C D G Em But the pride and the pallor continue to swell C D Em And the matron silently prays. __Pre-Verse__ D __Verse__ Junior resented the tradition they upheld and it ate him up inside most every day Silence was golden and they kept him to his word So bewildered when he finally ran away __Pre-Chorus__ Oh, obligations never cease Oblivious of the ways to give his soul some peace, yeah! __Chorus__ Papa and his family always on parade Passing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade. But time will tell as their world crumbles to hell. What they created... ...was a family story no one will tell It's a photo album too terrible But the pride and the pallor continue to swell as the matron silently prays. __Bridge__ G D Em "Get me out of here, someone's got to save the day." C D Em The children are reminded to do it for their daddy's sake Bm Em C D And happiness is ever so far, far away __Solo__ G | D | Em | C G | D | Em | C __Pre-Chorus__ Yeah, lost as an island out at sea Oblivious to the gentle waves of empathy, yeah! __Final Chorus__ (one addional line!) Papa and his family always on parade Tearing through the turnstiles, a weekender's charade C D G Em It's just a sick calamity that fatherhood made, but time will tell, as their world crumbles to hell. What they created... was a family story no one will tell It's a photo album too terrible But the pride and the pallor continue to swell as the matron silently prays...
