Mama Say A Prayer chords by Dolly Parton

Guitar chords with lyrics

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
