Also, if you play the E as a barre chord at the 4th fret (4447) you can then play the A as a barre chord at the same fret (6454) and it's easy!

Dm didn't sound right, and so I started looking around. All the versions I found on other sites have Em at that spot.

5/5, great chords! I recommend adding some during the bridge, for the "could not care at all" part, one chord per word: Cm, Bm, Am, Gmaj7, G. Just a lil addition to make that part punchy!

Wow, this is an amazing tab!!! Lovely job on it, you really put lots of effort into it. It sounds great! I didn't notice any wonky chords, and none of them were misplaced. Just... awesome! Also, my sister scored MCR tickets, but can't go to the show because of the Coronavirus outbreak :,(

About this song: Welcome To The Black Parade

Originally conceived of while writing their first album under the tentative title "The Five of Us Are Dying", the song was finally finished for inclusion as the central song in the album "The Black Parade".
The music video for this song utilizes imagery reminiscent of a grimly interpreted "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." This song was the first single to showcase MCR's more theatrical approach to recording, with many tracks used in recording and Gerard's movement in the video being quite similar to Freddie Mercury's bravado in Queen's grandiose stage performances.
