Verse 1 
C5                                D5 
I can hear the neighbors, the're arguing again 
F5 
the're hasn't been peace on our street since 
C5 
who knows when 
C5                                 D5 
I don't mean to listen in but the shouting is so loud 
F5                      C5 
I turn up the radio to drown it out 
 

D5             E5   F5              G5 
and silently I say a little prayer 
 
Chorus 
            D5 
but for the grace of God go I 
               C5 
I must of been born a lucky guy 
            D5                  F5 
heaven only knows how I've been blessed 
                      C5 
with the gift of your love 
       D5 
I look around and all I see 
        C5 
is your happiness embracing me 
               D5 
oh lord I'd be lost 
F5                    C5 
but for the grace of God 
 
Verse 2 
C5 
I can see that old man 
     D5 
he's walking past our door 
F5 
I've been told that he's rich 
       C5 
but he seems so poor 
C5 
'cause no one comes to call on him 
        D5 
and his phone it never rings 
F5 
he wonders through his empty home 
C5 
surrounded by his things 
 

D5             E5   F5                    G5 
and silently I say a little prayer (yes I do)
