Neil Young – Forever (Guitar)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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

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

         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

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
