A Asus Em
And the wind just kept blowing off the lake
Hm
I ran down to the front door
Em7
And told the ambulance man
Asus A
"Everything's all right here, Sir
Asus A Em
There must be some mistake"
[Chorus]
Saints preserve us
Hm A
We're all going down
Asus Em Hm
This ship is sinking in the sea
Saints preserve us
Em7
And carry us along
A Asus Em Hm
For we may be together in eternity
[Verse]
Em Hm
My father was staring off into another world
A Asus Em
And my mother she was laying very still
Hm
The baby was crying
Em7
And I tried to block it out
Asus A
Then from somewhere deep inside me
Asus A Em
Came a deathly chill
[Chorus]
Saints preserve us
Hm A
Wherever we might fall
Asus Em
This is all too big a mystery
Hm Em7
I rememer I was standing in the corner of the room
Asus A
Saying "Look at how she's leaving us
Asus A Cmaj7
So quietly so soon"
[Bridge]
G
And in her final hour
Hm G D
I saw her reaching up her hands
G Esus
Like she was asking to be taken high above us
A Asus A Asus A Em
Didn't she love us?
[Chorus]
Saints preserve us
Hm A
We're all going down
Asus Em Hm
This ship is sinking in the sea
Saints preserve us
Em7
And carry us along
A Asus Em
For we may be together
[Outro]
Hm A Em
Saints preserve us
Hm A Em
Saints preserve us
Hm A Em
Wherever we may fall
Hm A Em
Saints preserve us
Hm A Em
Saints preserve us
Hm A Em
And carry us along
