Praying chords by Vern Gosdin

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA                 D MajorD
They were prayin', prayin' for someone like me

verse 1
D MajorD          G+G      D MajorD
Not long ago, I was thinkin' of home
  A augmentedA                  D MajorD
And I wondered if Mama was there all a- lone
             G+G     D MajorD
I thought I'd drop by, as I had be- fore
    A augmentedA                   D MajorD
But the sound from within made me stop at the door

    D MajorD                   A augmentedA
She was prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears
                  D MajorD
Prayin' her words were pleading and clear

Bridge 1
  G+G          D MajorD
The sound of her voice, as she spoke my name
G+G              D MajorD         A augmentedA
Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame

    A augmentedA                 D MajorD
She was prayin', prayin' for someone like me

verse 2
D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD
Walkin' one night, I felt so a- lone
  A augmentedA                    D MajorD
My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known
D MajorD          G+G        D MajorD
I hadn't noticed, a church that was near
A augmentedA                      D MajorD
'Til the sound from within seem to fill the air

     D MajorD                   A augmentedA
They were prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears
                    D MajorD  E minorEm F# minorF#m
Prayin', the children that God loves so dear

Bridge 2
   G+G           D MajorD
Out- side in the darkness, I could not see
G+G            D MajorD       A augmentedA
But I could picture them down on their knees

A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Prayin', prayin' for someone like me
