Verse 1:
 C                                  F
Earth is like a church without a preacher

 C                                 F
The people have to pray for themselves

 C             E              A      D7
Animals and birds cannot help them

 G           E             A         D        C    F
Trees and plants have nothing new to say

Verse 2:
 C                                    F
Planets are just bumbles, floating carelessly

 C                                    F
Streets lined up with boxes, so it seems

 C                  E                A     D7
Lined up there forever by their buildings

 G                 E        A            D         C    F
Standing in the way of children's dreams


Verse 3:
 C                            F
So I made my way down this highway

 C                                  F
Stopping now to rest and then to eat

 C               E                    A       D7
Trying not to damage that that's in my way

 G               E        A    D      C    F    C    F
Lookin' for a way to be   complete


Verse 4:
 C                             F
That's how it ends in the beginning

 C                              F
That's how I plan to say goodbye

 C               E                   A    D7
Leavin' bells just as they were ringing

 G         E           A      D           C    F
I'm not trying to make something die


Verse 5:
 C                      F
My friend Al got the message

 C                                         F
Sent it down that street with the boxes on

 C                  E                    A     D7
Lined up there forever, filled with thinkers

 G              E         A      D     C    F    C    F
Working on solutions here and gone


Verse 6:
 C                         F
I really want to make a difference

 C                                 F
Trying now to help him with the work

 C             E                 A     D7
Originating in the heart of something

 G                      E           A    D      C    F    C    F
Worth keeping in the soul when it gets hurt


Verse 7:
 C                                 F
As we keep on building roads of boxes

 C                            F
To think inside of what we will

 C                 E                   A   D7
With increasing distance from the foxes

 G          E            A      D      C    F
From the wolves and whip-poor-wills


Verse 8:
     C                                F
And from the crows and all the sea creatures

 C                              F
Mermaids and the galleons of horse

 C               E               A    D7
Crossing over onto waves of fortunes

 G            E        A     D     C    F
To finally crash upon the shore

 C                 F
Upon the shore  Upon the shore

 C                F
On the shore   On the shore

 C                F
On the shore   On the shore

 C                F
On the shore   On the shore

 C                F
On the shore   On the shore


Verse 9:
 C                            F
Rescued there by primative tribesman

 C                                  F
Living in round triangles forevermore

 C       E            A         D7
Never ever in a straight line

 G            E                A    D       C    F    C    F    C    F
And always on the road to Heaven's door


Verse 10:
          C                              F
Will the clouds and the rains come in torrents

              C                    F
And will the winds blow forever on the shore

 C              E                  A    D7
Over the dry land between the castles

 G                 E        A         D        C    F    C    F
Or the herds of horses grazing on the clover


Outro:

Earth is like a church without a preacher

 C                 F
      Without a preacher

 C                                  F
Earth is like a church without a preacher
