A A E A
A A A E
A A D A
A A E A
A D E
Innocence and suffering, loneliness and grace
A E
Pain and love and beauty, laughter death and faith
A D E
Where the rising fortune, meets the setting sun
A E A
I'm afraid my friend when one is left, it's just the same as none
Chorus:
A E A
I will always stand beside you
E
Defend you and mend you, sanctify you
A D A
I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you
E A
Follow you down love, I'm right behind you
Bridge:
A E A
God make a road straight, God make a road true
D E A
Saint Isabelle is coming through
A E A
God make a road straight, God make a road true
D E A
Saint Isabelle coming through
Intro
A D E
The textbook's on the table, the radio's on the shelf
A E
And thank you for the offer, but I'll sing this one myself
A D E
In reverential silence, the crowd sang the pews
A E A
I climbed and climbed for hours, but oh my what a fuse
Chorus
Bridge
Intro
A D E
I'm surprised you didn't come forward when the cops dragged me away
A E
There's a museum in the Netherlands, I hope to see again some day
A D E
There's a painting of a woman, gathering wood it's almost dark
A E A
In a world bereft of meaning, there's a flicker in the hearth
Chorus:
A E A
I will always stand beside you
E
Defend you and mend you, sanctify you
A D A
I'll hold you and keep you and fight beside you
E A
Follow you down love, I'm right behind you
E A
And, follow you down love, I'm right behind you
E A
And, follow you down love, I'm right behind you
