Otis Redding – My Lovers Prayer (Guitar)

       A
This is my lover’s prayer,

                               D
I hope it'll reach out to you, my love,

E
this is my lover’s prayer,

                                     A
and I hope you can understand it, my love.

        A
My life is such a weary thing,

                                     D
but it might be low pressure bringing rain.

E
You keep wanting, waiting and wishing,

                                   A
when I know deep down that I'm not to blame.

         A
What you What You Gonna Do Tonight

                       D
when you need some loving arms to hold you tight?

       E
Darling, what you gonna do tonight,

                                               A
when you need my heavy voice to tell you good night ?

                        A
Honey, but you can't let that be no problem,

                                       D
you've got to come home and help me solve it.

E
Yeah, I won't be missing you,

                                            A
and, honey, my lover’s prayer would be all over.

         A
What can the matter be now ?

                                      D
It can't be to serious we can't talk it over.

E
Living in this misery, darling,

                       A
you can't make my life all over.

                       A
Honey, but don't you let that be no problem,

                                    D
just come on home and help me solve it.

        E
Dear,I won't be missing you,I won’t be missing you,

                               A
and my lover’s prayer would be all over.

                       A             D
It got to be all over, honey, all over,

        A                               D
don't keep my life going round so many circles.

                      A                     D
This is my lover’s prayer, come on, come on y'all,

A                                    D
This is my lover’s prayer  ...
