Intro:
|Gmaj7     |Gmaj7     |D7       |D7        |
|Gmaj7     |Gmaj7     |D7       |D7        |
|B7        |B7        |
 
 
Em           Am7
The moment I wake up 
Am7          D7    G
Before I put on my makeup 
  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 
Em               Am7
While combing my hair, now 
Am7                D7       G
And wondering what dress to wear, now 
  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 
 
 
Cmaj7    D7/C          B7
Forever, forever,      you'll stay in my heart 
    D/G G  D/G  G
And I will love you 
Cmaj7    D7/C          B7
Forever, forever,   we never will part 
    D/G G    D/G  G
Oh, how I'll love you 
Cmaj7     D7/C             B7
Together, together, that's how it must be 
    D/G G   D/G G
To live without you 
      Cmaj7   D7/C           B7
Would only be heartbreak for me 
 
 
Em            Am7
I run for the bus, dear 
Am7            D7       G
While riding I think of us, dear 
  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 
Em              Am7
At work, I just take time 
Am7                D7     G
And all through my coffee break-time 
  F#m7                    B7
I say a little prayer for you 
 
 
Cmaj7    D7/C          B7
Forever, forever,      you'll stay in my heart 
    D/G G  D/G  G
And I will love you 
Cmaj7    D7/C          B7
Forever, forever,   we never will part 
    D/G G    D/G  G
Oh, how I'll love you 
Cmaj7     D7/C             B7
Together, together, that's how it must be 
    D/G G   D/G G
To live without you 
      Cmaj7   D7/C           B7
Would only be heartbreak for me

|Em             |Am7          |Am7             |D7              |

|D7                          |Gmaj7       |Gmaj7         |D7            |
        I say, I say a little prayer
 
|D7                          |Gmaj7       |Gmaj7         |   (fade out)
 Why don’t you just answer my prayer
