[Introduction] G D A D [Verse 1]
    D                               A
The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see

   A                              G                 D
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me

    D                              D7              G
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be

   G             D                   A                  D
So mama when you pray tonight, say a special prayer for me
[Chorus]
  A                                  G             D
I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding

    E                              A              A7
The goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding

   D                              D7                   G
So mama when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees

           D       A          D
Mama say a special prayer for me
[Instrumental] G D A D [Verse 2]
    D                                      A
The nights get cold and lonely when you're far away from home

    A                          G               D
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong

D                                             D7         G
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me

   G             D                   A                  D
So mama when you pray tonight, say a special prayer for me
[Chorus]
  A                                  G             D
I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding

      E                              A              A7
These goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding

   D                              D7                   G
So mama when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees

           D       A          D
Mama say a special prayer for me
