Gretchen Peters - Saint Francis
INTRO: G C/G G C/G G
C/G G
Saint Francis walking on the water
C/G G D
All his lambs have gone to slaughter
C
And all the creatures who receive his grace
G D G
You can see them all in his haggard face
C/G G
Saint Francis begging at your doorway
C/G G D
You want to let him in, but what will the neighbours say
C
And you know you can't go on, but you can't give up
G D G
And he answers you with his begging cup
C/G G
Saint Francis sitting at your table
C/G G D
A cup of tea among the faithful
C
Behind a wall that's made of little lies
G D G D
Much to your surprise, you start to cry
BRIDGE:
C
And by these wounds you will be whole again
G D
By these signs you will know
C Em
You'll feel a stirring in your soul again
F G
'Til sweet amnesia takes a hold
C/G G
Saint Francis sleeping in the meadow
C/G G D
His halo is a raven's shadow
C
He's been sleeping for eight hundred years
G D
In a potter's field full of sparrow's tears
C
And while we sleep and dream of heaven's gates
G D G
Down here on earth the old man waits
