Saints and Sinners Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C F C F G C F C F C
It was Sunday morning in our town
And I sat on my steps and I stared at the ground
~ Am G
And I bowed my head while they shuffled past
All the saints being called to the morning mass
CHORUS:
And off in the distance there rang a bell
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
~ Am G
And it rang for the saints and the sinners as well
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
INTERLUDE: C F C F G C F C F C
I remember the lessons of Sunday school
And I can't help but think, maybe I'm the fool
~ Am G
But I see no sign of a greater plan
Just the joy and the sorrow of my fellow man
CHORUS:
And off in the distance there rang a bell
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
~ Am G
And it rang for the saints and the sinners as well
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:
And here we stand while life rushes past
Between the first breath and the last
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
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
It's a long way from heaven to Bethlehem
CHORUS:
And off in the distance there rang a bell
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
~ Am G
And it rang for the saints and the sinners as well
Way off in the distance there rang a bell
