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

       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

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
