[Intro]
CF
  (x2)
[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]
C                                F
Earth is like a church without a preacher
C               F
      Without a preacher
C                                F
Earth is like a church without a preacher
C
Without a preacher
F
Earth is like a church
C                     F
Earth is like a church
C                     F  C
Earth is like a church
