Dm A#
this is the story of a man ,

marked by genius , channelled good ,

by some a bit misunderstood .

they’d been wrong many times before

they blur the lines and lead the way ,
their way .

raise hell and a glass in reverence ,

the fearless lives of our great saints – our saints .

verse

Dm A#
never a stranger to late night

snake bite fist fights and empty pints ,

unrivaled heights .

he led with songs , they sang along ,
F
created bonds that held so strong
A
some were right and some were wrong

Dm A# F
it’s by the sea and at nights end
C Dm
that’s when the sin and swill begin

that’s when he had that certain light
C Dm
inside his head
A# F
for every whisper he would scream
C Dm
for every drought he shared a drink
A# F C
for every sorrow there is a light from our st . james

clean part

on the sea by the cliff he watches ,

he waits the night to see
F
the day – his way
A#
last call will find us all
F
but there’s a light that leads the way , our way .
