F C7

Verse 1:
         F                   F7
I said a prayer for good St. Claire
           Bb                F
And then I said one more for you
       Bb        F                            C7
'Cause when that evenin' sun came down, I felt blue
        F
I never meant to do you right
                Bb            F
Not like you've never done for me
   Bb       F                C7            F
The good old prayer was quick to offer her retreat

Verse 2:
         C               C7            F
They say dreams are just feelings in a bottle
                                    Bb
And I get to thinkin' I could use a few
                            F
And I get to thinkin' 'bout you
         G                            C
I should climb up on a mountain on my own two feet
           A7
'Cause her doors are always open
        Bb        G      C
And her rates are always cheap


Chorus:
             F
I'll leave a candle in the window
      Bb     F         G
But I may as well light two
      F                   C7
Say a prayer for good St. Claire
            F
And one for you

Bb F C7 F

Verse 3:
F                   Bb         F
Time has its way of making its escape
Bb       F                                 C7
Years go by, I wonder where did all of ours go
           F
If I could do things all over again
         Bb                      F
I'd have spent those nights with you
    Bb         F                C7              F
And left sweet Claire to find a fool in someone new


Verse 4:
         C7                               F
They say touch is what we need to keep us livin'
                                       Bb
But I've made a livin' out of lyin' to you
                 F
Lord, what did I do?
          G
I started out with good intentions
         C
With the sunshine comes the rain
             A7
Who knew the slightest provocation
      Bb        G              C
Could wash good intentions all away?


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


Outro:
Bb    F                   C
Say a prayer for good St. Claire
            F    Bb   F
And one for you
