Song For The Saints

C

[Verse 1]
C
Long before boat anchored the harbour
F
Long before steel drums filled the breeze
G
God lifted these islands from the ocean
C
They stood strong for centuries


[Pre-Chorus]
          Am
So it's fitting they were named after men with golden halos
 F                                                         C
'Cause angels don't give it just cause a little wind blows


[Chorus]
C                    Am
We say we can when they say we can't
F                         G
See what it is when they see what it ain't
      C                            Am
With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
               F                      G                 C
We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the saints
C  Am F   G
Woah, woah
C  Am F   G
Woah, woah


[Verse 2]
  C
For the farmer, the field, the sugar cane
         F
For the drunkered in his hammock
F
Drying out after the rain
           G
For the teacher in the classroom
 G
Kid kicking cans in the street
        F
With a captain and his bar mate
        G
Praying down on bended knees


[Chorus]
C                   Am
We say we can when they say we can't
F                         G
See what it is when they see what it ain't
      C                            Am
With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
               F                      G
We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the saints
C  Am F  G
Woah, woah
C  Am F  G
Woah, woah


[Bridge]
     Am
This brokenness will heal
      Am/G
This weakness will be strong
       F
Let's lift our voice together

As the saints go marching on


[Chorus]
C                   Am
We say we can when they say we can't
F                        G
See what it is when they see what it ain't
       C                          Am
With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
               F                      G
We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the

C                   Am
We say we can when they say we can't
F                        G
See what it is when they see what it ain't
       C                          Am
With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
               F                      G
We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the saints
C  Am F  G
Woah, woah
C  Am F  G
Woah, woah

C  Am F  G
Woah, woah
