Verse 1: 
      Em7           Am7 
      The moment I wake up 
                   D7    G7M 
      Before I put on my makeup 
        F#m7                    B7(b9) 
      I say a little prayer for you 
 
      While combing my hair, now 

      And wondering what dress to wear now 

      I say a little prayer for you 
 
Chorus: 
          C       D/C           Bm7        G/B 
      Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart 
         G7    F7M/G G7      {r.h. kbd: G7 : F - G - B - D  F7M : F - A - C - E } 
      And I will love you 
          C       D/C       Bm7       G/B 
      Forever, forever, we never will part 
         Dm7/G G7            {r.h. kbd: Dm7 : A - C - D - F } 
      Oh, how I'll love you 
         C        D/C            Bm7        G/B 
      Together, together, that's how it must be 
          G7   F7M/G G7 
      To live without you 
             C        D/C            B7 
      Would only mean heartbreak for me

Verse 2: 
 
      I run for the bus, dear 

      While riding I think of us, dear 

      I say a little prayer for you 
 
      At work I just take time 

      And all through my coffee break time 

      I say a little prayer for you
