Verse 1:
        Em7           Am7
        The moment I wake up
                     D7    G7M
        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
            C       D/C           Bm7        G/B
        Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
           G7    F7M/G G7     
        And I will love you
            C       D/C       Bm7       G/B
        Forever, forever, we never will part
           Dm7/G G7             
        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
