Gretchen Peters - Saint Francis


INTRO: G+G C/GC/G G+G C/GC/G G+G

           C/GC/G  G+G
Saint Francis walking on the water
          C/GC/G   G+G      D MajorD
All his lambs have gone to slaughter
              C majorC
And all the creatures who receive his grace
  G+G            D MajorD       G+G
You can see them all in his haggard face

           C/GC/G   G+G
Saint Francis begging at your doorway
                     C/GC/G    G+G   D MajorD
You want to let him in, but what will the neighbours say
                   C majorC
And you know you can't go on, but you can't give up
    G+G          D MajorD       G+G
And he answers you with his begging cup


           C/GC/G   G+G
Saint Francis sitting at your table
       C/GC/G   G+G     D MajorD
A augmentedA cup of tea among the faithful
              C majorC
Behind a wall that's made of little lies
    G+G         D MajorD       G+G  D MajorD
Much to your surprise, you start to cry


BRIDGE:
                C majorC
And by these wounds you will be whole again
     G+G       D MajorD
By these signs you will know
                C majorC      E minorEm
You'll feel a stirring in your soul again
              FF     G+G
'Til sweet amnesia takes a hold


            C/GC/G  G+G
Saint Francis sleeping in the meadow
       C/GC/G   G+G    D MajorD
His halo is a raven's shadow
               C majorC
He's been sleeping for eight hundred years
   G+G           D MajorD
In a potter's field full of sparrow's tears
                C majorC
And while we sleep and dream of heaven's gates
   G+G         D MajorD        G+G
Down here on earth the old man waits
