       Am           F       C 
Once I ran like the wildest horse 
             Am7       F          G       C 
I reached up high and I clenched my fist 
                   Am  F          C 
What happened then goes just like this 
G                              C 
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall 


      Am          F          C 
I was young and I thought it brave 
            Am7 F             G      C 
Fighting to find the mystery's face 
           Am     F          C 
You got to give it a gentler chase 
        G                              C 
'Cause, oh, the tender branch is gonna fall 
G                              C      E7 
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall 


 
                   Am       F 
Sometimes you fall up these stairs 
       Am     F            G       E7 
It's a long time 'fore you know 
                   Am       F 
No matter where my heart is now 
          Am    Em          G 
There's a long, long way to go

Sometimes you fall up these stairs 
       Am     F            G       E7 
It's a long time 'fore you know 
                   Am       F 
No matter where my heart is now 
          Am    Em          G     C 
There's a long, long way to go 


           Am        F        C 
There is a church in Saint-Sulpice 
              Am7     F        G      C 
I've seen the pilgrims come to pray 
          Am  F        C 
I lean in hard on that grace 
     G                              C     
But, oh, the tender branch is gonna fall 
G                              C  
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall 
G                              C    
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
