[Verse 1]
G Am
Father McKenzie loved Eleanor Rigby
D D7 G
But she died and left him alone
G Am
An old waffle iron that belonged to his mother
D D7 G
Is the only thing of value he owns
C G
Every Saturday morning he makes a big breakfast
Am D7
Sets the kitchen table for two
G Am
But no one goes in, and no one comes out
D D7 G
What's that poor lonely preacher up to?
[Chorus]
G Am
He makes waffles for God
D D7 G
Waffles for God
G Am
The maple syrup sticks to the offering plate
D D7 G
But he still makes waffles for God
[Verse 2]
G Am
Sometimes his sermons may fall on deaf ears
D D7 G
And sometimes on no ears at all
G Am
But the lonely old preacher pressed doggedly on
D D7 G
And tries to make sense of it all
C G
He prays every night before he goes to bed
Am D7
And greets each new day with the dawn
G Am
But sometimes the sadness is too much to bear
D D7 G
And he wonders how he can go on
[Chorus]
G Am
Making waffles for God
D D7 G
Waffles for God
G Am
The maple syrup sticks to the offering plate
D D7 G
But he still makes waffles for God
[Bridge]
Em Bm
Now he always has waffles left over
C G
To feed to the squirrels and the birds
Em Bm
Then he sits down alone at his mahogany desk
C D D7
And searches for inspiring words
[Break]
G Am D D7 G G Am D D7 G
[Verse 3]
C G
And he wonders if we have a purpose
Am D7
What's the lesson, and what is the goal?
G Am
You can fill the hole at your kitchen table
D D7 G
But what about the one in your soul?
[Chorus]
G Am
He makes waffles for God
D D7 G
Waffles for God
G Am
The maple syrup sticks to the offering plate
D D7 G
But he still makes waffles for God
[Chorus]
G Am
He makes waffles for God
D D7 G
Waffles for God
G Am
The maple syrup sticks to the offering plate
D D7 G
But he still makes waffles for God
[Outro]
G Am
The maple syrup sticks to the offering plate
D D7 G
But he still makes waffles for God
