"The Cross" by Prince  (from the album, "Sign o' the Times")

Intro:

a------2-4-5---
e--4-5---------

E  A  E  A

E          A
Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, He is coming
Don't die without knowing The Cross
Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right
There'll be bread 4 all of us
If we can just bear The Cross
Sweet song of salvation
A pregnant mother sings
She lives in starvation
Her children need all that she brings
We all have our problems
Some BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems
Will be taken by the Cross

(repeat entire)

Sounds good with just one acoustic guitar- play the first time through 
fairly softly.  On the second go 'round, hammer the chords, maybe 
sing an octave higher and with PASSION!  Of course, if you're 
lucky enough to be in a real band, then you can do it right...
