Verse 1:
     FF          F7F7
I said a prayer for good St. Claire
      Bb majorBb        FF
And then I said one more for you
    Bb majorBb    FF              C7C7
'Cause when that evenin' sun came down, I felt blue
    FF
I never meant to do you right
        Bb majorBb      FF
Not like you've never done for me
  Bb majorBb    FF        C7C7      FF
The good old prayer was quick to offer her retreat

Verse 2:
     C majorC        C7C7      FF
They say dreams are just feelings in a bottle
                  Bb majorBb
And I get to thinkin' I could use a few
              FF
And I get to thinkin' 'bout you
     G+G              C majorC
I should climb up on a mountain on my own two feet
      A7A7
'Cause her doors are always open
    Bb majorBb    G+G   C majorC
And her rates are always cheap


Chorus:
       FF
I'll leave a candle in the window
   Bb majorBb   FF     G+G
But I may as well light two
   FF          C7C7
Say a prayer for good St. Claire
      FF
And one for you

Bb majorBb FF C7C7 FF

Verse 3:
FF          Bb majorBb     FF
Time has its way of making its escape
Bb majorBb    FF                 C7C7
Years go by, I wonder where did all of ours go
      FF
If I could do things all over again
     Bb majorBb           FF
I'd have spent those nights with you
  Bb majorBb     FF        C7C7       FF
And left sweet Claire to find a fool in someone new

Verse 4:
     C7C7                FF
They say touch is what we need to keep us livin'
                    Bb majorBb
But I've made a livin' out of lyin' to you
         FF
Lord, what did I do?
     G+G
I started out with good intentions
     C majorC
With the sunshine comes the rain
       A7A7
Who knew the slightest provocation
   Bb majorBb    G+G       C majorC
Could wash good intentions all away?


Chorus:
       FF
I'll leave a candle in the window
   Bb majorBb   G+G     FF
But I may as well like to
   FF          C majorC
Say a prayer for good St. Claire
      FF
And one for you


Outro:

And one for you
