Verse 


Dm                           A#   
This is the story of a man, 
                              F 
Who conquered life drink in hand 
           A                 Dm    
Ship unmanned. 
                              A# 
Marked by genius, channelled good,  
                       F 
By some a bit misunderstood. 
            A               
They'd been wrong many times before 



A# 
Some times our saints are sinners, 
                                    F 
They blur the lines and lead the way, 
Their Way. 
A# 
Raise hell and a glass in reverence, 
                                    F 
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints. 



Verse 


Dm                         A# 
Never a stranger to late night  
                                 F 
snake bite fist fights and empty pints, 
          A  
Unrivaled heights. 
Dm                             A# 
He led with songs, they sang along, 
                            F 
created bonds that held so strong 
            A 
Some were right and some were wrong  


A# 
Some times our saints are sinners, 
                                    F 
They blur the lines and lead the way, 
Their Way. 
A# 
Raise hell and a glass in reverence, 
                                    F 
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints. 



Solo 

  
Dm          A#                F 
It's by the sea and at nights end  
                C                Dm 
that's when the sin and swill begin 
               A#               F  
That's when he had that certain light 
           C               Dm 
inside his head 
            A#               F 
For every whisper he would scream  
            C                   Dm 
for every drought he shared a drink 
          A#                F                   C 
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James 


Clean Part 


A# 
On the sea by the cliff he watches, 

he waits the night to see 
    F 
The day - his way 
A# 
Last call will find us all 
                                   F 
But there's a light that leads the way, our way.

Some times our saints are sinners,

Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
