The Saints Are Coming

Intro: Em G Bm

There is a house in new orleans
They call the rising sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And god, i know i'm one

  Em                       G
I cried to my daddy on the telephone
    Bm
how long now
          Em                G
Until the clouds unroll and you come home
    Bm
the line went
        Em                         G
But the shadows still remain since your descent
     Bm
your descent

¦¦ Em, Bm, D, F#/C# ¦¦ 2x

Until the clouds unroll and you come home

But the shadows still remain since your descent

The saints are coming, the saints are coming

SOLO

  Em              G
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief
    Bm
How long now
        Em                G
Until a weather change condemns belief
    Bm
How long now
     Em                  G
When the night watchman lets in the thief
    Bm
What's wrong now?
