ON THE ROAD TO CALVARY by Richie Havens 6th trac on Wishing Well CD
AI saw StAmaj7.Christopher walking Dsus2downtown on Amain,
A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7
with Black Madonna fingers holding the flame,
AI saw an Amaj7eagle rise,Dsus2right out of the Ablue
AI heard a Amaj7car crash,Dsus2it reminded me of Ayou.
AI saw a Amaj7baby starve in Dsus2South AfricAa,
A Amaj7,Dsus2 E,E4,E7
too weak to cry,her tears rolled down into straw.
AI saw an Amaj7orphan give aDsus2 vagabond Atry,
Ajust at that Amaj7moment Dsus2I realiAzed.
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,
AYou bring me C#mhome Dthis love that you Adeliver,
Astraight to C#mmy back porch
Don the road to CalvAary.
AI seen a Amaj7rich man with his Dsus2bracelets of Agold.
A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7
Four cars and a yacht and a mistress untold.
ASomewhere the Amaj7restless wind Dsus2blows out to Asea,
Asomewhere there Amaj7is a place for Dsus2you and for Ame.
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,
Ayou bring me C#mhome Dthis love that you Adeliver.
AStraight to my C#mback porch
on the Droad to CalvAary.
AStraight to my C#mback porch
Don the road to calvAary.
ASo if you Amaj7wondering Dsus2where I was last Anight,
A Amaj7 Dsus2 E,E4,E7
well, Black Madonna, yea, She gave me the light.
AI guess it’s noAmaj7t much morDsus2e that I have tAo say,
AJust tell StAmaj7.Christopher Dsus2we’re all on ouAr way,
Atell StAmaj7.Christopher Dsus2we’re all on ouAr way.
A Em6/C# A
We’re all on our way.
