[Intro]
G Bm Em C……………
[Verse 1]
GI’d be a “For Sale” sign on the side of the road
BmI’d be a broke-down heart with a secondhand soul
Em CBe a King James dust-covered on a Sunday
GI’d be a tumbleweed at the will of the wind
BmGoin’ halfway to hell and back again
Em CI’d be way off, no doubt I’d be a lost cause
[Chorus]
GIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
BmIf it wasn’t for an angel who believed
EmIf it wasn’t for the folded-hand “amens”
CTo the Man upstairs talkin’ ’bout me
GYeah, I’m boots and jeans in a back pew church
BmShe’s a halo here on Earth
EmLookin’ out for me
CLord knows where I’d be
If it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
[Verse 2]
GEvery time I last-second saw the light
BmYeah, every wrong turn that ended up right
EmThings like that don’t just happen
CI don’t wanna imagine
[Chorus]
GIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
BmIf it wasn’t for an angel who believed
EmIf it wasn’t for the folded-hand “amens”
CTo the Man upstairs talkin’ ’bout me
GYeah, I’m boots and jeans in a back pew church
BmShe’s a halo here on Earth
EmLookin’ out for me
CLord knows where I’d be
G BmIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
[Post-Chorus]
Em CIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
[Bridge]
GI’d be a “For Sale” sign on the side of the road
BmI’d be a broke-down heart with a secondhand soul
Em CAmen, oh, can I get an “amen”?
[Chorus]
GIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
BmIf it wasn’t for an angel who believed
EmIf it wasn’t for the folded-hand “amens”
CTo the Man upstairs talkin’ ’bout me
GYeah, I’m boots and jeans in a back pew church
BmShe’s a halo here on Earth
EmLookin’ out for me
CLord knows where I’d be
GIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
[Outro]
BmLord knows where I’d be
EmIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
CLord knows where I’d be
GIf it wasn’t for a prayin’ woman
