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
