A - B5		
Come make your complaint to the Bootleg Saint 

He's been gone, keepin' on, keepin' on for your freedom 
						D5-E5
Black boots, brown skin he has chemical roots 

He's taking back the city one sinner at a time 

F#min  A         F#min      A      
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price
 
B
He remembers a time when everything was alright 

We had water from wine, the streets were alive 
							D5-E5
Then old Captain Industry who sold his soul at Wounded Knee 

Bought himself a little property 

The Saint had found his enemy
 
F#min  A         F#min     A      A-B5
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price 

D                          A
The laws might sleep, but they never die 
E                            A – B5
Lions for sheep - an eye for an eye 

E                                                   A-B5
He wears a ring with the brand of a three-legged dog 
      E                                    A-B5
His rose-coloured glasses cut through the fog 

D                     A
The laws might sleep but they never die 
E                                 A – B5
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye 

A – B5
He came down on a storm cloud hard as the Amazon rain 

Took him on, took him on and on 

And you can pay your respects in the form of a cheque 

He's taking back the city one sinner at a time 

F#min   A         F#min    A
He'll sacrifice if you pay the price 

D                         A
The laws might sleep but they never die
E                                A – B5
Lions for sheep, an eye for an eye 
D                           A
The Bootleg Saint, well he walks the line 
D                              A – B5
Between an everyman hero and a waste of time
