C [Verse 1]
C Long before boat anchored the harbour
F Long before steel drums filled the breeze
G God lifted these islands from the ocean
C They stood strong for centuries
 [Pre-Chorus]
Am So it's fitting they were named after men with golden halos
FC 'Cause angels don't give it just cause a little wind blows
 [Chorus]
CAm We say we can when they say we can't
FG See what it is when they see what it ain't
CAm With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
FGC We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the saints
CAm FG Woah, woah
CAm FG Woah, woah
 [Verse 2]
C For the farmer, the field, the sugar cane
F For the drunkered in his hammock
F Drying out after the rain
G For the teacher in the classroom
G Kid kicking cans in the street
F With a captain and his bar mate
G Praying down on bended knees
 [Chorus]
CAm We say we can when they say we can't
FG See what it is when they see what it ain't
CAm With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
FG We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the saints
CAm FG Woah, woah
CAm FG Woah, woah
 [Bridge]
Am This brokenness will heal
Am/G This weakness will be strong
F Let's lift our voice together
 [Chorus]
CAm We say we can when they say we can't
FG See what it is when they see what it ain't
CAm With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
FG We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the
CAm We say we can when they say we can't
FG See what it is when they see what it ain't
CAm With blood, sweat and tears and a new coat of paint
FG We're just a sinners choir singing a song for the saints
CAm FG Woah, woah
CAm FG Woah, woah
CAm FG
