Saints preserve us
(Marc Cohn)
Em, Hm Asus, A, Em Hm, Asus, A
[Verse]
I could hEmear the shutters banging in my moHmther's house
And the wiAnd just kept bAsuslowing off the lEmake
I Hmran down to the front door
And tEm7old the ambulance man
"EAsusverything's all riAght here, Sir
ThereAsus must be soAme mistake" Em
[Chorus]
Saints preserve us
HmWe're all going down A
This ship is sAsusinking in the seEma Hm
Saints preserve us
And cEm7arry us along
For wAe may be togAsusether in eternEmity Hm
[Verse]
My father wEmas staring off iHmnto another world
And my motAher she was layAsusing very stilEml
The bHmaby was crying
And I tEm7ried to block it out
Then from sAsusomewhere deep insideA me
Came a deAsusathly chiAllEm
[Chorus]
Saints preserve us
WherHmever we might fallA
This is Asusall too big a myEmstery
I remHmemer I was standing in the corEm7ner of the room
Saying "LAsusook at how she's leavAing us
So quAsusietly so soonA" Cmaj7
[Bridge]
And in her final hGour
I saw her reaching up her hHmands G D
Like she was asking to be taGken high abEsusove us
Didn't she loAve us? Asus A Asus A Em
[Chorus]
Saints preserve us
WHme're all going down A
This Asusship is sinking Emin the Hmsea
Saints preserve us
And caEm7rry us along
For Awe may be togAsusether Em
[Outro]

Wherever we may fall Hm A Em
