On The Road To Calvary by Richie Havens ON THE ROAD TO CALVARY by Richie Havens 6th trac on Wishing Well CD A Amaj7 Dsus2 A I saw St.Christopher walking downtown on main, A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7 with Black Madonna fingers holding the flame, A Amaj7 Dsus2 A I saw an eagle rise,right out of the blue A Amaj7 Dsus2 A I heard a car crash,it reminded me of you. A Amaj7 Dsus2 A I saw a baby starve in South Africa, A Amaj7,Dsus2 E,E4,E7 too weak to cry,her tears rolled down into straw. A Amaj7 Dsus2 A I saw an orphan give a vagabond try, A Amaj7 Dsus2 A 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, A C#m D A You bring me home this love that you deliver, A C#m straight to my back porch D A on the road to Calvary. A Amaj7 Dsus2 A 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. A Amaj7 Dsus2 A Somewhere the restless wind blows out to sea, A Amaj7 Dsus2 A 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, A C#m D A you bring me home this love that you deliver. A C#m Straight to my back porch D A on the road to Calvary. A C#m Straight to my back porch D A on the road to calvary. A Amaj7 Dsus2 A So if you wondering where I was last night, A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7 well, Black Madonna, yea, She gave me the light.
