Chords with lyrics
Amy Grant: Cry A augmentedA River
Written by Amy Grant & Wayne Kirkpatrick
Album: Behind The Eyes
Transcribed by Rok Osojnik
This is the saddest, but in my opinion the most beautiful song on the album.
THIS SONG IS CAPOED AT 2ND FRET.
All chords are named as if the capo was the nut.
Sign ! means strum upwards.
