Lyrics

Sinners Go Too
Am
F G
Room across the hall
Am
A whip and a gun
F G
Brains on the wall
Am
Coparazzi snappin

No footage of her leavin
Only comin
John' still hopin
For a happy endin

I start laughin
That happens in Norlins
Marie she's warnin
Better keep it down

CHORUS
Dm
When the saints go marchin
Am
The sinners go too
Dm
Devil's procession
Am
Under the moon
E7
When the saints go marchin
Am
The sinners go too
E7
When the saints go marchin
Am
The sinners go too

He came floatin, glowin
Foot of my bed
"Hear I am!"
Was all he said

Snarled and streamed
Outa the window
I sat and screamed
Marie just snored

Stared till dawn
No more returns
Is he really gone
Will he take me to burn

CHORUS
Interlude = 2x CHORUS

Learned my lesson
He taught me well
Don't mess with a man
On the way to hell

Now I don't chance it
Watch what I say
Don't want no more visits
From the man that ain't

Got me voodoo
From the Chicken Man
Gets me thru
Mojo hand

2 X CHORUS + 4 x Sinners Go....
Outro = 2x CHORUS + 4 x Sinners Go....
