submitted by Kingwhistle 10/23/11

Intro: (F#m D/B E A  D C#)

Verse:
F#m          D/B
The moment I wake up
              E      A
Before I put on my makeup
  D/F#                    C#
I say a little prayer for you
F#m                  D/B 
While combing my hair, now,
                     E             A
And wondering what dress to wear, now,
   D                       C#
I say a little prayer for you

Chorus:
D                  E      C#7        F#m
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
            A7
and I will love you
D             E        C#7       F#m
Forever, and ever, we never will part
              A7
Oh, how I'll love you
D            E             C#7        F#m
Together, together, that's how it must be
            A7
To live without you
        D                    C#
Would only be heartbreak for me.
(single notes going down - C# B A G# F# E D )

Verse:
F#m           D/B 
I run for the bus, dear,
                 E      A
While riding I think of us, dear,
D/F#                       C#
I say a little prayer for you.
F#m             D/B
At work I just take time
                     E         A
And all through my coffee break-time,
   D/F#                   C#
I say a little prayer for you.

F#m            D/B
My darling believe me,

For me there is no one
     A      D/B                  
But you, please love me

baby, yeah
