Capo - 4th Fret
This is the way I hear it...
GDaddy was a preacher, CShe was his wife
EmJust tryin' to make the world a little better u kno, Cshine a lightG  
People started talkin', Cjust to hear their own voice.
EmThose people have accused my father sayin' he Cmade the wrong Gchoice
though it might be painful, Ctime will always tell,
EmThose people have long since gone, my Cfather never failedG.
CHORUS
GEven when the rain falls, Ceven when the flood starts risin'
GEven when the storm comes, CI am washed by the water.  (Repeat)
EmAnd even when the Cearth crumbles under my Gfeet
EmEven when the Cones I love Gturn around and crucify me
EmI won't Cnever ever let you Gdown.
Won't Dfall, won't fall, won't Cfall as long as you're around me.
(REPEAT CHORUS SEVERAL TIMES)
