And when the sun, refuse to shine And when the sun refuse to shine, Lord how I want to be in that number, When the sun refuse to shine. And when the moon, turns red with blood And when the moon turns red with blood, Lord how I want to be in that number, When the moon turns red with blood. Oh when the trumpet, sounds its call Oh when the trumpet sounds its call, Lord how I want to be in that number, When the trumpet sounds its call. Some say this world, of trouble, Is the only one we need, But I'm waiting for that morning, When the new world is revealed. Oh when the new, world is revealed Oh when the new world is revealed, Lord how I want to be in that number, When the new world is revealed. Oh when the saints, go marching in Oh when the saints go marching in, Lord how I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in. **There are more variations of these Lyrics…** When the Saints Go Marching In (M6,m6,dom7 chords) Jazz Poem F6 ?c Œ œ Œ 3 ? œ. œ J Œ œ œ Œ œ J ? bœ. œ Ó J œ ∑ bœ œ J œ J Ó œ bœ œ œ œ œ œ œ Ó Œ œ œ œ œ œ 3 œ œ œ œ œ œ œ Ó C7 ?œ œ œ J ∑ œ œ 3 œ. œ.
