[Gm] I heard that old Saint John left his life behind him [Dm] and abandoned [C] his children in [Gm] dust.
He settled in Santa Fe and told the ones he met there [Dm] that he [C] was the hand of [Gm] God.
They [Dm] built him [C] to a saint, [B] but he's nothing [Gm] but a man who [C] burned every [Cm] bridge that he [Gm] came upon.
I'm told that old Saint John claimed to heal the ailing [Dm] and the poor [C] would cherish [Gm] his name.
But I knew that ill-willed man has failed to lend obsessed with [Dm] women [C] and liquor and [Gm] fame.
[Dm] They built him to [C] a saint, but [Cm] he's nothing [Gm] but a man who burned every [Eb] [Cm] bridge that [Gm] he came upon.
