                   G                                D G
                   Getting ready for that City

                   When the Saints come marching in.

                   I want to join that heavenly band,
                   Want to join that heavenly band,
                   Want to hear the trumpets a-blowing
                   When the Saints come marching in.

                   Verse 2:
                   So I pray each day to Heaven
                   For the strength to help me win;
                   Want to be in that procession
                   When the Saints come marching in.


                   Chorus:
                   I want to wear a happy smile,
                   Want to wear a happy smile,
                   Want to sing and shout "Hallelujah!"
                   When the Saints come marching in.
                   I want  to see those pearly gates,
                   Want  to see those pearly gates,
                   Want to see those gates standing open
                   When the Saints come marching in.
