Biography:
Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.
Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s.

THE BOOTLEG SAINT – The Sam Roberts Band
Submitted by Rocco C.
Intro strum between A – B5, then D5-E5
A - B5
Come make your complaint to the Bootleg Saint
He's been gone, keepin' on, keepin' on for your freedom
D5-E5
Black boots, brown skin he has chemical roots
He's taking back the city one sinner at a time
F#min A F#min A
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
B
He remembers a time when everything was alright
We had water from wine, the streets were alive
D5-E5
Then old Captain Industry who sold his soul at Wounded Knee
Bought himself a little property
The Saint had found his enemy
F#min A F#min A A-B5
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
D A
The laws might sleep, but they never die
E A – B5
Lions for sheep - an eye for an eye
E A-B5
He wears a ring with the brand of a three-legged dog
E A-B5
His rose-coloured glasses cut through the fog
D A
The laws might sleep but they never die
E A – B5
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye
A – B5
He came down on a storm cloud hard as the Amazon rain
Took him on, took him on and on
And you can pay your respects in the form of a cheque
He's taking back the city one sinner at a time
F#min A F#min A
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
D A
The laws might sleep but they never die
E A – B5
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye
D A
The Bootleg Saint, well he walks the line
D A – B5
Between an everyman hero and a waste of time
