Verse: Dm Am C F The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see Dm Am C F Perhaps they’re extra pretty to a country girl like me Dm Am C F Temptation waits at every turn and it won’t let me be Dm Am So mama when you pray tonight C F Say a special prayer for me Chorus: Dm Am I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding Dm Am The goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding Dm Am So mama when you pray tonight Dm F And while you’re on your knees F C G Mama say a special prayer for me
Verse: Dm The nights get cold and lonely Am When you’re far away from home C F And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong Dm Am Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me C F So mama when you pray tonight C F Say a special prayer for me Chorus: Dm Am I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding Dm Am The goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding Dm Am So mama when you pray tonight Dm F And while you’re on your knees F C G
