Tender Branch Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C Am7 F C Am G C
Once I ran like the wildest horse
I reached up high and I clenched my fist
What happened then goes just like this
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
I was young and I thought it brave
Fighting to find the mystery's face
You got to give it a gentler chase
'Cause, oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
CHORUS:
Sometimes you fall up these stairs
It's a long time 'fore you know
No matter where my heart is now
There's a long, long way to go
INSTRUMENTAL: C Am F C Am7 F G C Am F C G C
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
CHORUS:
Sometimes you fall up these stairs
It's a long time 'fore you know
No matter where my heart is now
There's a long, long way to go
There is a church in Saint-Sulpice
I've seen the pilgrims come to pray
I lean in hard on that grace
But, oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
