G                     C/G             G
Many years ago when a lad at mother's knee
G                           D7
I heard her call my name in prayer
G                            C/G          G
Praying for the Lord to save me for eternity
G                   D7      G
I heard her call my name in prayer

G
Yes mother called my name in prayer
                            D7
I heard her call my name in prayer
G                             C/G             G
As she bowed upon her knees before her old bedside
                    D7      G
I heard her call my name in prayer

G                                 C/G             G
As the years rolled on for me she never failed to pray
                              D7
I know she?ll call my name in prayer
G                                 C/G                 G
Praying that I?ll always lead the straight and narrow way 
                      D7      G
I know she?ll call my name in prayer
G
Yes Mother called my name in prayer
G                           D7
I heard her call my name in prayer
G                           C/G               G
As she bowed upon her knees before her old bedside
G                   D7      G
I heard her call my name in prayer

HINT: It sounds much cooler ich you use this strumming:

Plug the Bass string and then do a strum on the chord (Country Style)

But: You can change the Bass in the Chord back and forth


If you play the G Chord you can plug the D and the A string as Bass.

If you play the D7 Chord you can plug the D and A string as Bass.

If you play the C Chord, you can plug the A and E string as Bass.

Alright! That's it! Hope you have fun with that :-)
