Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Innocence and suffering, loneliness and grace

Pain and love and beauty, laughter death and faith

Where the rising fortune, meets the setting sun

I'm afraid my friend when one is left, it's just the same as none

Chorus

I will always stand beside you

Defend you and mend you, sanctify you

I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you

Follow you down love, I'm right behind you

Bridge

God make a road straight, God make a road true

Saint Isabelle is coming through

God make a road straight, God make a road true

Saint Isabelle coming through

Intro

The textbook's on the table, the radio's on the shelf

And thank you for the offer, but I'll sing this one myself

In reverential silence, the crowd sang the pews

I climbed and climbed for hours, but oh my what a fuse

Chorus

Bridge

Intro

I'm surprised you didn't come forward when the cops dragged me away

There's a museum in the Netherlands, I hope to see again some day

There's a painting of a woman, gathering wood it's almost dark

In a world bereft of meaning, there's a flicker in the hearth

Chorus

I will always stand beside you

Defend you and mend you, sanctify you

I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you

Follow you down love, I'm right behind you

And, follow you down love, I'm right behind you

And, follow you down love, I'm right behind you
