(say a little prayer for you)
(keys line walk down pickup C# B A) [Verse]
F#m                Bm
    The moment I wake up

             E     A
Before I put on my makeup

   D                       C#7
[tab]F#m                      Bm
    And while combing my hair, now,

                    E        A
And wondering what dress to wear, now,

   D                      C#7
I say a little prayer for you
[Chorus]
   D        E            C#m         F#m
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart

            A7
and I will love you

   D        E        C#m         F#m
Forever, forever, we never will part

            (A7)    D  D/A
Oh, how I'll love you

  D         E              C#m         F#m
Together, together, that's how it must be

            (E)     Bm A
To live without you

      D D  D  D/E  D/E   D   C#7          riff: C# C# B A G# F# F D
Would only be heartbreak for me.
[Verse]
F#m                Bm
    I run for the bus, dear,

                E       A
While riding I think of us, dear,

  D                       C#7
I say a little prayer for you.

F#m                    D
    And at work I just take time

                   E       A
And all through my coffee break-time, (break-time!)

  D                       C#7
I say a little prayer for you.
[Chorus]
   D        E            C#m         F#m
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart

            A7
and I will love you

   D        E        C#m         F#m
Forever, forever, we never will part

            A7
Oh, how I'll love you

  D         E              C#m         F#m
Together, together, that's how it must be

            A7
To live without you

Would only be heartbreak for me.    (Nobody but me)

   D        E            C#m         F#m
Forever and ever, you'll stay in my heart

            A7
and I will love you

   D        E        C#m         F#m
Forever, forever, we never will part

Oh, how I'll love you
