Brandi Carlile - Sinners Saints Fools

                CAPO: 3rd FRET
 
INTRO:
Am  Em  Dm  Am
 
VERSE:
           Am
Where the winds of change were blowin',
              Em
There lived a God-fearing man
        Dm                  G
He was turning through his Bible
         Am
When he came up with a plan
 
    Am                            Em
He painted up a sign and held it high above his head
          Dm             G
Waved it proudly in the air
     Am
And this is what it read
 
 
CHORUS:
G  C                  Dm
  You can't break the law
           Am
There are reasons for the rules
 
      Dm                        G
They keep things safe here for everyone
     Am
The Sinners, Saints, and Fools
 
G     C                Dm
 The poor and huddled masses
         Am
Who are hungry and afraid
 
          Dm            G
You gotta Do it by the book and there'll be
Am                Am
No exceptions made
 
 
VERSE:
        Am
To the weary, desperate souls
     Em
Who washed up on the sand
              Dm                G             Am
He said, "We haven't seen your paperwork" and he withdrew his hand
 
             Am
You know he never felt any safer,
        Em
Or the peace he hoped he'd find
    Dm                   G
And up until the day he died,
    Am
He never changed his mind
 
 
CHORUS:
Am G  C                  Dm
     You can't break the law
           Am
There are reasons for the rules
 
            Dm                        G
They gotta keep things safe here for everyone
     Am
The Sinners, Saints, and Fools
 
G     C                Dm
 The poor and huddled masses
         Am
Who are hungry and afraid
 
          Dm            G
You gotta Do it by the book and there'll be
Am                 Am
No exceptions ma-a-ade
 
 
INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO:
Em  Dm  Am
Am  Em  Dm
Am  Am
 
 
VERSE:
        Am
By the time he got to Heaven,
           Em
It was surrounded by a wall
     Dm                      G
The pearly gates were locked up tight,
     Am
The golden chains and all
 
                Am                         Em
They said, "We cannot let just anyone walk in here anymore
           Dm                G                Am
You didn't Do it by the book," and then they pointed to the floor
 
 
CHORUS:
C                   Dm
You can't break the law
           Am
There are reasons for the rule
 
      Dm                        G
They keep things safe here for everyone
     Am
You Sinners, Saints, and Fools
 
G     C                Dm
 The poor and huddled masses
         Am
Who are hungry and afraid
 
          Dm            G
You gotta Do it by the book and there'll be
Am                 Am
No exceptions ma-a-ade
