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 Am So it's fitting they were named after men with golden halos F '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 We're just a sinners choir singing a song C for the saints C Am F G Woah, woah C Am F G Woah, woah For the farmer in the field of sugar cane For the drunkard in his hammock, dryin' out after the rain For the teacher in the classroom, kid kickin' cans in the street For the captain and his bar mate, prayin' down on bended knee Chorus Am This brokenness will heal Am This weakness will be strong F Let's lift our voice together As the saints go marching on We say we can when they say we can't See what it is when they see what it ain't With blood, sweat, and tears and a new coat of paint We're just a sinner's choir singin' a song for the Chorus Woah, woah | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm C F G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
