                        "I Say A Little Prayer"
                      (Burt Bacharach - Hal David)

[Again, the chords are a composite of several parts on the record.]

	Gmaj7             Am7/D
	  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	Em7           Am7
	The moment I wake up
	             D7    Gmaj7
	Before I put on my makeup
	  F#m7                    B7-9
	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    Fmaj7/G G7	[r.h. kbd: G7: F-G-B-D  Fmaj7: 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   Fmaj7/G G7
	To live without you
	       C        D/C            B7
	Would only mean heartbreak for me

	(piano arr. for guitar)

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

[repeat chorus]

[instrumental break: verse chords w/background vocals on lines 3 and 6]

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

	Em7           Am7
	My darling, believe me

	                                  Gmaj7         Am7/D
	You know every day I say a little prayer
	                               Gmaj7         Am7/D
	I say, I say   I say a little prayer  [fade]
