As recorded by Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals (From the 1999 Album BURN TO SHINE) [Intro] Em D Em D Em D Am Em N.C. [Verse 1]
Em                D
First time that I saw her

        Em             D
She had white doves in her eyes

    Em               D             Am
She spoke to me, but I could not reply

      Em
Not reply
[Verse 2]
Em        D              Em        D
She was a stranger I had known for years

    Em                 D             Am
She brought to me so many smiles and tears

           Em    
Smiles and tears
[Chorus]
    C         G    D
The two hands of a prayer             

              G    C    G    D
Together like two hands of a prayer

                   C    G    D
Together like two hands of a prayer

                       C    G    D
Together like the two hands of a prayer
[Interlude] Em D Em D [Verse 3]
Em                D
Time it slowly drips

     Em
Into past

         D
Into the past

    Em                     D            Am
And finds a home where the heart echoes rest

       Em
Echoes rest

              D      Em       D
She softly kissed my mind, my mind

    Em                    D          Am             Em
And whispered, "what will we do with time, do with time?"
[Chorus]
    C         G    D
The two hands of a prayer             

              G    C    G    D
Together like two hands of a prayer

                   C    G    D
Together like two hands of a prayer

                       C    G    D
Together like the two hands of a prayer
[Interlude] Em C Em C G D C G D Em D Em D [Verse 4]
   Em          D                 Em            D
Am I the man I choose, choose to be, choose to be?

   Em             D       Am          Em
Or just the man I used to be, used to be?

               D              Em            D
Am I the man I want, want to be, I want to be?

     Em                  D        Am           Em
This questions, it keeps haunting me, haunting me
[Chorus]
    C         G    D
The two hands of a prayer             

              G    C    G    D
Together like two hands of a prayer

                   C    G    D
Together like two hands of a prayer

                       C    G    D
Together like the two hands of a prayer

D
Of a prayer
