[Intro: Billie Joe Armstrong]
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
God, I know I'm one

[Verse 1: Bono]
I cried to my daddy on the telephone: "How long now"?
Until the clouds unroll and you come down, the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent

[Verse 2: Billie Joe Armstrong]
I cried to my daddy on the telephone: "How long now"?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home, the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent, your descent

[Pre-Chorus]
Boom, cha, hey!

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Bono]
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realize there's no reply

[Verse 3: Bono]
A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief, how long now?
Until a weather change condemns belief, how long now?
When the night watchman lets in the thief, what's wrong now?

[Pre-Chorus]
Boom, cha, hey!

[Chorus: Billie Joe Armstrong & Bono]
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
