[Intro 1]
[Dm][F][Am][Am]
[Dm][F][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
There [Dm]is a h[F]ouse in Ne[Am]w Orleans
They [Dm]call the [F]Rising [Am]Sun
It's [Dm]been the [F]ruin of [Am]many a poor boy
And, [Dm]God, I [F]know I'm [Am]one

[Verse 2]
I [Dm]cried to my daddy on the [F]telephone,
how [Am]long now?
Until the [Dm]clouds unroll and [F]you come down,
the [Am]line went
But the [Dm]shadows still remain
since [F]your descent, your [Am]descent

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][C][E]
[Dm][Am][C][E]

[Verse 3]
I [Dm]cried to my daddy on the [C]telephone,
how [Am]long now?
Until the [Dm]clouds unroll and [C]you come home
the [Am]line went
But the [Dm]shadows still remain
since [C]your descent, your [Am]descent
[Dm]Ho-cha, [C]hey

[Chorus 1]
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
I [Dm]say no matter how I try
I [C]realize there's no reply
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
I [Dm]say no matter how I try

[Interlude 2]
I realize there's no reply
[Dm]Ooh- [Am]ooh- [C]ooh[E]
[Dm]Ooh- [Am]ooh- [C]ooh[E]
[Dm]Ooh- [Am]ooh- [C]ooh[E]
[Dm][Am][C][E]

[Verse 4]
A [Dm]drowning sorrow floods the [C]deepest grief,
how [Am]long now?
Until a [Dm]weather change con[C]dems belief,
How [Am]long now?
When the [Dm]night watchman lets [C]in the thief,
what's [Am]wrong now?
[Dm]Ho-cha, [C]hey

[Chorus 2]
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
I [Dm]say no matter how I try
I [C]realize there's no reply
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
The [Dm]saints are [F]coming
I [Dm]say no matter how I try
I [F]realize there's no reply
I [Dm]say no matter how I try
I [F]realize there's no reply
I [Dm]say no matter how I try
I [F]realize there's no re[Dm]ply
