Song For The Saints

	  		Intro 

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

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
