Recorded by Vern Gosdin [Chorus 1]
          A                                 D
They were prayin', prayin' for someone like me
[Verse 1]
D                   G           D
Not long ago, I was thinkin' of home

    A                                   D
And I wondered if Mama was there all a- lone

                          G         D
I thought I'd drop by, as I had be- fore

        A                                     D
But the sound from within made me stop at the door
[Chorus 2]
        D                                      A
She was prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears

                                    D
Prayin' her words were pleading and clear
[Bridge 1]
    G                   D
The sound of her voice, as she spoke my name

G                            D                 A
Brought tears to my eyes, my heart filled with shame
[Chorus 3]
        A                                 D
She was prayin', prayin' for someone like me
[Instrumental] | A | A | A | A | A | A | D | D [Verse 2]
D                    G          D
Walkin' one night, I felt so a- lone

   A                                        D
My heart was so heavy from the trouble I've known

D                   G               D
I hadn't noticed, a church that was near

A                                           D
'Til the sound from within seem to fill the air
[Chorus 4]
          D                                      A
They were prayin', a sound that the world seldom hears

                                        D    Em F#m
Prayin', the children that God loves so dear
[Bridge 2]
     G                     D
Out- side in the darkness, I could not see

G                        D             A
But I could picture them down on their knees
[Chorus 5]
A                                 D
Prayin', prayin' for someone like me
