[Verse 1]
Em         D      A        G              A
I saw the patron saints parade down city hall
Em         D      A              G                   A
I saw the patron saints for the handsome, rich and tall
Em         D       A       G            A
I felt so out of place, appalling and appalled
Em         D     A                C               D11
They all drove away and there was no one left to call
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G*     F#     Em7    D7     C7   D7  D11
Cause there ain’t no surrogate savior for my soul
        G*     F#     Em7    D7           C7
There ain’t no patron saint for rock and roll
     D*
For rock and roll
 
 
[Verse 2]
   Em         D          A       G            A
I stood and watched the parade crowded in the back
   Em       D      A                G          A
I couldn’t see a thing through the patriotic flags
 Em          D         A        G               A
The huddled masses and me disillusioned in the rain
          Em     D       A            C              D11
Wondering what America means when I feel so out of place
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G*     F#     Em7    D7     C7   D7  D11
Cause there ain’t no surrogate savior for my soul
        G*     F#     Em7    D7           C7
There ain’t no patron saint for rock and roll
     D*          Em7*       C#7 (once)
For rock and roll
 
[Bridge]
F#*               B     E             A
Sometimes I feel lonely, devilish and old
D               G         F#**          B
As if my congregation were the bitter cold
       Em      A                   D       G
And my hymnal feels like it’s got holes
                     C      B
Christ alone could save my soul
 
 
[Instrumental]
 Em D A G A
 Em D A G A
 
Em        D         A
There’s a park downtown
           G              A
Where the homeless get ignored
           Em          D          A
Where the church next door is a crowd
           G              A
Singing “Blessed are the poor”
               Em    D    A
Where the Mercedes drive away
             G                     A
Muttering, “druggies, drunks and whores”
          Em      D         A
Where the bumper sticker displays
       C            D11
“My copilot is the Lord”
 
 
 
[Chorus]
                 G*    F#    Em7    D7     C7    D7  D11
But there ain’t no surrogate savior for my soul
        G*     F#     Em7        D7        C7   D*
There ain’t no patron saint for rock and roll
 
                   G*     F#     Em7    D7     C7   D7  D11
Yeah, there ain’t no surrogate savior for my soul
        G*     F#     Em7    D7           C7
There ain’t no patron saint for rock and roll
     D7
For rock and roll
