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


Chorus


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


Chorus


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.


Chorus


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.
