Intro: (keys accent high A)
F#m   D   D   E A   D                                C#7
                              say a little prayer for you
(keys line walk down pickup C# B A)
 
F#m                        Bm                                  E         A
    The moment I wake up    Before I put on my makeup
    D                                    C#7    F#m                                     Bm
I say a little (prayer for you)        And while combing my hair, now,
                                       E             A               D                                       C#7
And wondering what dress to wear, now,    I say a little prayer for you

 

   D                E                  C#m            F#m                     A7
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart    and I will love you
   D                E           C#m          F#m                         (A7)    D  D/A
Forever, forever, we never will part    Oh, how I'll love you
  D                  E                     C#m         F#m                (E)     Bm A
Together, together, that's how it must be    To live without you
             D D  D  D/E  D/E   D        C#7          riff: C# C# B A G# F# F D
Would only be heartbreak for me. 


I run for the bus, dear,    While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.        And at work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time, (break-time!)    I say a little prayer for you.

 
Chorus x2 

 

F#m                        Bm
… 
My darling, believe me
                       EFor me there is  no one
                 A
         but you
Please love me too
I'm in love with you (Answer my prayer)Answer my prayer now babe, (Answer my prayer)
Say your love is true  (Answer my prayer)Answer my prayer now babe, (Answer my prayer) oh-oh

 


Chorus

Repeat Bridge.
