Intro: C Em C Em 
 
C                     Em 
Answer me, Lord above: 
Dm                                  Am 
Just what sin have I been guilty of? 
Dm                                   C 
Tell me how I came to lose my love. 
  G                                  C 
Please answer me, oh, Lord.  
 

C                           Em 
She was mine yesterday, 
Dm                                              Am 
An' I believed that love was here to stay. 
Dm                                         C 
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray: 
G                                    C 
Please answer me, oh, Lord.  
 

Em                           Am 
If she's happier without me, 
Em                  B7 
Don't tell her I care. 
Em                                Am 
But if she still thinks about me, 
Dm                                G 
Please let her hear my prayer.  
 

C                             Em      
Let her know I've been true. 
Dm                                      Am 
Send her back so we can start anew. 
Dm                                C 
In my sorrow, may I turn to you? 
G                                C 
Please answer me, oh, Lord.  
 

Em                           Am 
If she's happier without me, 
Em                  B7 
Don't tell her I care. 
Em                                Am 
But if she still thinks about me, 
Dm                                G 
Please let her hear my prayer.  
 

C                             Em      
Let her know I've been true. 
Dm                                      Am 
Send her back so we can start anew. 
Dm                                C 
In my sorrow, may I turn to you? 
G                                C 
Please answer me, oh, Lord.
