How I learned to pray 


No capo! enjoy :) 

Intro: E 


E  
When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings 
E                                         A 
Daddy, pretty please, can I take her out tonight? 
                               E 
I swear I won't get her over fifty-five. 

With Back in Black racing through my veins, last thing I thought 
                                  A 
Was if flipping this thing don't get me killed. 
                       E 
I'm pretty sure my old man will. 
E                   B                                  E   A 
And seeing his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away 
       B                   E 
That's how I learned to pray. 


   B 
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse 
     A                  E 
Some preacher made sure everybody heard 
   B                                      F#m 
Or just some words somebody taught me to say. 


       E 
I was living like I was long from the world, mama always said 
                                  A 
It'd take a special girl to get a hold of me, 
                        E 
But I never let one get close to me. 


E 
The man upstairs must've heard her prayer, 
                            Abm            A 
Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me 
              E 
Like you were made for me. 
      B                                   A 
And I knew right then and there, I'd been saved 
           B             Em  E 
And that's how I learned to pray. 


   B  
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse 
      A                 E 
Some preacher made sure everybody heard 
   B                                     F#m  
Or just some words somebody taught me to say. 
      B     
I can fold my hands and bow my head, 
            A                     E 
But there's just some things that can't be said 
F#m                      Abm            A 
Without a little walk on water kind of faith. 
                              E 
And that's how I learned to pray.

E 
Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky, felt a tug at your heart 
                        A 
Didn't know why but you just knew 
E   A                               E 
Someone is up there lookin' out for you. 
              B                     E   A 
Well you know just what I mean when I say Grace. 
       B                  E 
That's how I learned to pray. 

E 
That's how I learned to pray.
