Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

B minorBm
For many days, we travelled from a distant place and time
      F# minorF#m
To reach a place they call the planet Earth
       G+G     F# minorF#m
There was to be a celebration
    B minorBm        A augmentedA   G+G
On the mission of the sacred heart

  Verse 2:

   B minorBm
The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
   F# minorF#m
And floating softly through a rainbow
        G+G           F# minorF#m
But when you touch down, things look different here
    B minorBm       A augmentedA   G+G
At the mission of the sacred heart

  Chorus:

 A augmentedA        G+G    F#7F#7
Watching all the days roll by
 B minorBm          Gm6Gm6
Who are you and who am I?

 A7A7
(Living on the Earth, living on the Earth

Living on the Earth, living on the Earth)

Eb7Eb7 D7D7
   When all the stars above
               A7A7
   Lay icy fingers down on me

  Verse 3:

   B minorBm
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby;
    F# minorF#m
In her vale of tears, she sees no rainbow
        G+G       F# minorF#m
And someone's singing from a window
    B minorBm       A augmentedA   G+G
In the mission of the sacred heart


  Chorus:

There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land

On a place they call the planet Earth
