[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.

[G]
Haven't you ever [Gm] been lied to by saints with a soulful sound?
Haven't you ever been lied to with words that [G] be long underground?
[Gm] You try and try to believe in someone that you never should trust.
But the prayers and the money you're sending are adding thick layers of rust.
[D]
Haven't you [Bb] ever been [Gm] lied to?
[D] Haven't you [Gm] ever been lied to?
[Dm] [C]
[Gm]
I heard that old Saint John [D] never felt [Gm]
remorseful [Dm] and believers [C] never knew his past.
[G] [Gm]
But I'm certain that if he's gone, he did not go to heaven and his scripture and its lies won't last.
[Dm] They built him to [C] a saint, [G] but he's nothing but [Gm] a man [C] who burned every [Cm] bridge that [G] he came upon.
They built him to a saint, but he's nothing [Gm] but a man [C] who burned [Cm] every bridge that [G] he came [Bb] upon.
