Little Prayer Chords & Tabs
Standard tuning and capo on the 8th fret.
It is not that complicated but has a lot of chords change, as Rachel always does. I'll
try to be as clear as possible.
Picking example on Am:
e|-----------|
B|---1----1--|
G|--2----2---|
D|-----------|
A|-0----0----|
E|-----------|
Always the same. So pick the low note with your thumb, and then the two high notes. I
will write down the changes. Don't mind the chords names as they are kind of invented, and
refear to them just to understand where to put your fingers!
Am: X02210
Am/C#: X20210
Cm: X35540
C/G: 320010
D7sus4: 000010 (low E is the low note here)
C/B: X20010
C: X32010
Am7: X02010 (E on the D chord is the low note)
G: 320001 but R. plays it like this: 300000 (play once then go back to Am)
F: 103210 (Am/F shape aplus thumb on the low E string)
Am/F: X03010 (I believe A to be the low note, but it may be F - D string)
Intro: Am (x16)

You're a lost soul,

For I have followed them,
Am C/G D7sus4
But never quite found myself where,

You all go to lose yourselves.

Close my mouth not to ask for help,
Am7 C/B G Am (x4) G (x1) Am (x4) G
But my mother knows my eyes too well.

You're a truth speaker,
Am/C#
With a heart of gold.
Cm
Please keep me close,
Am C/G F

With fools gold I try to hide my tongue,

But from you speaks the very sun,
And I pray that you will always hold on.

I hope this is all... and I hope I wrote everything as clear as possible! Many chords
and variations in this tiny and bautiful song.
Let me know if you need anything!
