[Intro] B6 BMaj7 [Verse 1]
B6                                 EMaj7
Seems the wisdom of man hasn't got much wiser
BM6 AMaj7 Than the very beginning of our time
B6                           EMaj7
Agree or war has been our way of compromising

    D6                GMaj7      F#7     BMaj7
Let live and love has become our biggest lie
[Verse 2]
B6                                   EMaj7
Seems to me that fools are even more foolish

B6                                AMaj7
Thinking of themselves and nobody else

B6                         EMaj7
But then if asked for poor will riches be replenished

         D6                  GMaj7     F#7
They say boot straps must be pulled up by themselves
[Chorus]
BMaj7
Feeding off the love of the land

DMaj7              EMaj7
Leaving much to be desired

Bmaj7
Living off the love of the Lord

DMaj7                       EMaj7
While the price for life is higher

Db/F             Bbm7
Isn't love to be admired

Eb7                   Abm7
Has the good in man expired

CMaj7            G7          GMaj7/D F#7      B6
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
[Verse 3]
B6                                  EMaj7
I awake each morning to the birds a-singing

B6                                  AMaj7
Singing out to God to come and save his own

B6                                               EMaj7
But when throughout the world the cry of love is ringing

DMaj7              GMaj7   F#7      BMaj7
Is then when He'll stop to hear our song
[Verse 4]
B6                                          EMaj7
Did you know that when you feel the earth a-shaken

B6                                    AMaj7
It's only mother nature with a crying heart

B6                                         EMaj7
You see we have taken from her for so many ages

           Dmaj7            GMaj7          F#7        B6
Will there be a time when taking stops and giving starts
[Chorus]
BMaj7
'Cause we're feeding off the love of the land

DMaj7              EMaj7
Leaving much to be desired

BMaj7
Living off the love of the Lord

DMaj7                       EMaj7
While the price for life is higher

Db/F             Bbm7
Isn't love to be admired

Eb7                   Abm7
Has the good in man expired

CMaj7            G7          GMaj7/D F#7      B6
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
[Chorus]
Bmaj7
Yes we are feeding off the love of the land

DMaj7                   EMaj7
Never hearing what He's saying

BMaj7
Living off the love of the Lord

DMaj7                     EMaj7
Never feeling what you're praying

Db/F                   Bbm7
Never praising Him for beauty

Eb7                     Abm7
Only praying God please give me

CMaj7            G7          GMaj7/D F#7      B6
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
[Outro]
CMaj7            G7          GMaj7/D F#7      B6
Stealing all the love and the beauty from His land
