[Verse 1]
D G D A little girl prayed at the close of the day A7 Cause her daddy had gone far away D G D On her little face was a look of despair A7 D I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayer
[Verse 2]
G D My mama says daddy has brought us to shame G D A7 And I'm never no more to mention his name D G D Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand A7 D Oh heavenly Father help me understand
[Bridge]
(Spoken)
G You know friends I wonder how many homes are broken tonight D 'n Just how many tears are shed, by some little word of anger A7 That never should have been said D I'd like to tell you a story, of a family I once knew G D We'll call them Mary and William and their little daughter Sue A7 Now Mary was just a plain mother and Bill was just a usual dad D D7 G And they had their little family quarrels, like everybody else G But neither one really got mad D G Then one day something happened, it was nothing of course D A7 But one word led to another and the last word led to a divorce D Now here were two grown up people, who failed to use common sense G D G They strengthened their own selfish pride, at little Sue's expense D A7 You know she didn't ask to be brought to this world D To drift from pillar to post G D But a divorce never stops to consider the ones it hurts the most G There's be a lot more honest loving, in this wicked ole world today D A7 If just a few parted parents, could hear little Sue say:
[Outro]
D G D Take me and lead me and hold to my hand A7 D Oh heavenly Father, help me understa-and
