TEARS OF THE SAINTS by Leeland

There are (Em)many prodigal sons
(There are schools full of hatred)

On our (C)city streets they run
(Even churches have forsaken )

Searching for (D)shelter
(Love and mercy)

There are (Em)homes broken down
(May we see this generation)

People’s (C)hopes have fallen to the ground
(In it’s state of desperation)

From (D)failures
(For Your glory)

This is an (C)emergency!

CHORUS:

There are (C)tears from the saints
(And all your children will stretch out their hands)

For the (G)lost and un(D)saved
(And pick up the crippled man)

We’re crying for them (Am)come back home
(Father, we will lead them home)

We’re crying for them (C)come back (D)home (Em)
(Father, we will lead them home)

THE CALL by Regina Spektor



THE CALL by Regina Spektor

(Capo 3, Key = Bb)

It (G)started out as a (D)feeling

Which then (Em)grew into a (C)hope

Which then (G)turned into a (D)quiet thought

Which then (Em)turned into a quiet (C)word

And (D)then that word grew louder and louder

(G)'Til it was a battle (Em)cry

(C)I'll come back

When you (D)call (G)me

(G)No need to say good(D)bye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say goodbye

Those are the chords that worked for me. I can't sing the note she uses for "goodbye" in the second chorus, so I just play it with "D" but I think that Em is probably more correct.
