Verse 1: 
      E5           A5 
      The moment I wake up 
                   D5    G5 
      Before I put on my makeup 
        F#5                    B5 
      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: 
          C5       D5           B5        G5 
      Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart 
         G5    F5 G5      {r.h. kbd: G5 : F5 - G5 - B5 - D5  F5 : F5 - A5 - C5 - E5 } 
      And I will love you 
          C5       D5       B5       G5 
      Forever, forever, we never will part 
         D5 G5            {r.h. kbd: D5 : A5 - C5 - D5 - F5 } 
      Oh, how I'll love you 
         C5        D5            B5        G5 
      Together, together, that's how it must be 
          G5   F5 G5 
      To live without you 
             C5        D5            B5 
      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
