David Francey - Saints And Sinners
## NOTE ~ = Walk-Down from C to Am ##
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO]
C F C F G C F C F C
F C F G
It was Sunday morning in our town
C F C F C
And I sat on my steps and I stared at the ground
~ Am G
And I bowed my head while they shuffled past
C F C F G
All the saints being called to the morning mass
[CHORUS]
F C F C
And off in the distance there rang a bell
F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
~ Am G
And it rang for the saints and the sinners as well
F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
[INTERLUDE]
C F C F G C F C F C
F C F G
I remember the lessons of Sunday school
C F C F C
And I can't help but think, maybe I'm the fool
~ Am G
But I see no sign of a greater plan
C F C F G
Just the joy and the sorrow of my fellow man
[CHORUS]
F C F C
And off in the distance there rang a bell
F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
~ Am G
And it rang for the saints and the sinners as well
F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
[INSTRUMENTAL]
C F C F G C F C F C ~ Am G C F C F C
[BRIDGE]
F G
And here we stand while life rushes past
C F C G
Between the first breath and the last
C F C
And here we stand between East and West
~ Am G
And here we stand between birth and death
N.C. F C F G
I was watching the news the other night
C F C F C
There was a war on the Left, there was a war on the Right
~ Am G
And it's no surprise that it's us or them
C F C F G
It's a long way from heaven to Bethlehem
[CHORUS]
F C F C
And off in the distance there rang a bell
F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
~ Am G
And it rang for the saints and the sinners as well
F C
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
