CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C Am7 F C Am G C
Once I [Am]ran like the [F]wildest [C]horse
I reached up [Am7]high and I[F] clenched m[G]y fist[C]
What happened then [Am]goes[F] just like [C]this
[G]Oh, the tender branch is gonna [C]fall
I was [Am]young and I [F]thought it [C]brave
Fighting to [Am7]find[F] the mystery's[G] face[C]
You got to [Am]give it[F] a gentler [C]chase
'Cause, [G]oh, the tender branch is gonna [C]fall
[G]Oh, the tender branch is gonna [C]fall[E7]
CHORUS:
Sometimes you fall [Am]up these [F]stairs
It's a [Am]long ti[F]me 'fore you [G]know[E7]
No matter where my [Am]heart is [F]now
There's a [Am]long, [Em]long way to [G]go

CHORUS:
Sometimes you fall [Am]up these [F]stairs
It's a [Am]long ti[F]me 'fore you [G]know[E7]
No matter where my [Am]heart is [F]now
There's a [Am]long, [Em]long way to [G]go[C]
There is a [Am]church in [F]Saint-Sul[C]pice
I've seen the [Am7]pilgrims[F] come to [G]pray[C]
I lean in [Am]hard[F] on that [C]grace
But, [G]oh, the tender branch is gonna [C]fall
[G]Oh, the tender branch is gonna [C]fall
[G]Oh, the tender branch is gonna [C]fall
