Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I s[Bm]aw[G][D][Bm][G][D][G]
[D]Saint Chris
[Bm]topher walkin' down[G]town on [Bm]Main[D]
With black Madonna [F#m]fingers
hold[G]ing a [A]flame
[D]I saw a[Bm]n eagle rising ou[G]t of the blue
[D]I heard a car c[F#m]rash,
it re[G]minded me of [D]you[Bm][G][D]
I saw [Bm]a baby starving in[A] Nor[G]th Africa
[D]Too weak to cry,
[F#m]her tears fell down o[G]n the straw
[A]I s[D]aw this[Bm] orphan lift her
[G]vagabond [D]eyes
Right at that [F#m]moment I came [G]to realize
[D]That you carry [F#m]me across
[G]the mighty riv[D]er
You lift me [F#m]up abo[G]ve the raging sea[A]
[D]You give me [F#m]all this lo[G]ve
that you deliv[D]er
Straight to my [Bm]back porch
on the [G]road to Calvary
[D]I s[Bm]aw a [G]ri[D]ch man[Bm]
with his [G]bracelets of [D]gold
Four [F#m]cars, a yacht, yes,
and a mis[G]tress I'm told
[A]Some[D]where a rest[Bm]less wind
blows [G]far out to [D]sea
Somewhere there [F#m]is a
place [G]for you and for [D]me
Cause you carry [F#m]me across
[G]the mighty riv[D]er
You lift me [F#m]up above the[G] raging sea[A]
[D]You give me [F#m]all this love
[G]that you deliver[D]
Straight to [Bm]my back porch
on the [G]road to [D]Calvary[F#m][G][D][F#m]
[G][A][D][F#m][G]
[D][Asus4][D][Bm][G][D][Asus4][D][Asus4][G][D][Asus4]
[D]Now if [Bm]you're wondering
where [G]I was last n[D]ight
With Black [F#m]Madon na, yeah,
she [G]gave me a [A]life
[D]I guess there's not a w[Bm]hole
lot more [G]that I can [D]say
Just tell St. [F#m]Christopher we're
[G]all on our [D]way
Cause you carry [F#m]me across
[G]the mighty [D]river
You lift me [F#m]up above a r[G]agi[A]n' sea
[D]You give me [A]all [F#m]this love[G]
that you've de[D]livered
Straight to my [Bm]back porch
on the [G]road to [D]Calvary
Straight to my [Bm]back porch
on the road [G]to [D]Calvary
Straight to my back [Bm]porch
on the road [G]to Calvary
[Asus4][D]
