Saints Preserve Us

          A             Asus            Em
And the wind just kept blowing off the lake
  Hm
I ran down to the front door
     Em7
And told the ambulance man
  Asus              A
"Everything's all right here, Sir
     Asus       A            Em
There must be some mistake"

[Chorus]

Saints preserve us
Hm                   A
We're all going down
              Asus            Em      Hm
This ship is sinking in the sea

Saints preserve us
     Em7
And carry us along
     A           Asus          Em      Hm
For we may be together in eternity


[Verse]
           Em              Hm
My father was staring off into another world
          A              Asus         Em
And my mother she was laying very still
     Hm
The baby was crying
       Em7
And I tried to block it out
           Asus                A
Then from somewhere deep inside me
         Asus     A Em
Came a deathly chill


[Chorus]

Saints preserve us
    Hm                A
Wherever we might fall
        Asus            Em
This is all too big a mystery
     Hm                            Em7
I rememer I was standing in the corner of the room
         Asus                 A
Saying "Look at how she's leaving us
     Asus         A        Cmaj7
So quietly so soon"


[Bridge]
                  G
And in her final hour
                           Hm    G    D
I saw her reaching up her hands
                            G          Esus
Like she was asking to be taken high above us
             A           Asus    A    Asus   A     Em
Didn't she love us?


[Chorus]

Saints preserve us
 Hm                   A
We're all going down
     Asus            Em     Hm
This ship is sinking in the sea

Saints preserve us
      Em7
And carry us along
    A            Asus    Em
For we may be together


[Outro]

                     Hm   A    Em
Saints preserve us
                     Hm   A    Em
Saints preserve us
                      Hm   A    Em
Wherever we may fall
                    Hm   A    Em
Saints preserve us
                    Hm   A     Em
Saints preserve us
                    Hm   A     Em
And carry us along
