          A                                 D 
They were prayin', prayin' for someone like me 

verse 1 
D                   G           D 
Not long ago, I was thinkin' of home 
    A                                   D 
And I wondered if Mama was there all a- lone 
                          G         D 
I thought I'd drop by, as I had be- fore 
        A                                     D 
But the sound from within made me stop at the door 


[Refrão]
        D                                      A 
She was prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears 
                                    D 
Prayin' her words were pleading and clear 

Bridge 1 
    G                   D 
The sound of her voice, as she spoke my name 
G                            D                 A 
Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame 


[Refrão]
        A                                 D 
She was prayin', prayin' for someone like me

verse 2 
D                    G          D 
Walkin' one night, I felt so a- lone 
   A                                        D 
My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known 
D                   G               D 
I hadn't noticed, a church that was near 
A                                           D 
'Til the sound from within seem to fill the air 


[Refrão]
          D                                      A 
They were prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears 
                                        D    Em F#m 
Prayin', the children that God loves so dear 

Bridge 2 
     G                     D 
Out- side in the darkness, I could not see 
G                        D             A 
But I could picture them down on their knees 


[Refrão]
A                                 D 
Prayin', prayin' for someone like me
