  When I consider how our light is spent

    D      Cadd9        D           Cadd9  G
  Keeping the candles inside the cathedral

(Intro Lick is played ONCE) [Bridge] -------
   Em      Am7
  And the sacred cows

   Em          Am7
  Feed on the green

   Em          Am7
  While the least of these

       Em           D
  Are dying on the streets
And they're crying... [Chorus] -------

  Though some may say Please go away

   G               D
  Rain, rain, don't go away

   Cadd9            Cadd9
  Though some may say Please go away
