Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
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
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
 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
 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
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
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
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
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
 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
 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
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
