I saw St.Christopher walking downtown on main,
A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7
with Black Madonna fingers holding the flame,
AAmaj7Dsus2A
I saw an eagle rise,right out of the blue
AAmaj7Dsus2A
I heard a car crash,it reminded me of you.
AAmaj7Dsus2A
I saw a baby starve in South Africa,
A Amaj7,Dsus2 E,E4,E7
too weak to cry,her tears rolled down into straw.
AAmaj7Dsus2A
I saw an orphan give a vagabond try,
AAmaj7Dsus2A
just at that moment I realized.
A C#m,D A
You carry me across the smiling river,
A C#m D E,E4,E7
You lift me up above the raging sea,
AC#mDA
You bring me home this love that you deliver,
AC#m
straight to my back porch
DA
on the road to Calvary.
AAmaj7Dsus2A
I seen a rich man with his bracelets of gold.
A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7
Four cars and a yacht and a mistress untold.
AAmaj7Dsus2A
Somewhere the restless wind blows out to sea,
AAmaj7Dsus2A
somewhere there is a place for you and for me.
A C#m,D A
You carry me across the smiling river,
A C#m,D E,E4,E7
you lift me up above the raging sea,
AC#mDA
you bring me home this love that you deliver.
AC#m
Straight to my back porch
DA
on the road to Calvary.
AC#m
Straight to my back porch
DA
on the road to calvary.

So if you wondering where I was last night,
A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7
well, Black Madonna, yea, She gave me the light.
AAmaj7Dsus2A
I guess it?s not much more that I have to say,
AAmaj7Dsus2A
Just tell St.Christopher we?re all on our way,
AAmaj7Dsus2A
tell St.Christopher we?re all on our way.
A Em6/c# A
We?re all on our way.
