When Mama Prayed

(Capo on 1st Fret...Per CD)
 
 
Intro Chords:   Em   Cmaj7    Em   Cmaj7    Em    C    D   G 
 
 
G           C/G               G 
Daddy never went to church on Sunday 
G                  C/G              G 
He said that's one thing I'll never do 
    C                           G 
But mama never gave up she said one day 
         Am7            C           Dsus   D 
He'll be sitting here beside me and you 
 
G                C/G         G 
I can still hear mama softly talking 
G                      C/G           G 
with her tears falling on her folded hands 
C                           G 
So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked in 
Am7             C           Dsus    D 
That's when I began to understand 

          Em    C             G     D 
When mama prayed, good things happen 
          Em    C            Dsus    D 
When mama prayed, lives were changed 
         Em                  D/F# 
Not much more than five foot tall 
    G                 C     Em7 Am            D 
But mountains big and small,    crumbled all away 
             Em    Cmaj7     Em    C     D     G 
When mama prayed 
 
 
G             C/G            G 
Seventeen and wild I hit the bottle 
G        C/G               G 
Doing anything I dang well pleased 
C                                   G 
Burning down life's highway at full throttle 
      Am7           C             Dsus   D 
While mama burned a candle on her knees 
 
G              C/G              G 
Then one night I came home half sober 
G          C/G             G 
I saw mama kneeling in the den 
     C                                 G 
As I listened, her and Jesus talked it over 
      Am7              C                  Dsus   D 
And I knew my restless days were 'bout to end 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
          Em    C             G     D 
When mama prayed, good things happen 
          Em    C            Dsus   D 
When mama prayed, lives were changed 
         Em                  D/F# 
Not much more than five foot tall 
    G                 C     Em7 Am            D  
But mountains big and small,    crumbled all away 
             G 
When mama prayed 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
Bm                                 C 
It isn't like everyone of them got answered 
        G                                      D 
But the times they weren't it seems to me were rare 
    Bm                        C      Em7 
You almost felt sorry for the devil 
      Am              C             Dsus   D 
Cause heaven knows he didn't have a prayer 
 
             Em     C     G     D 
When mama prayed 
 
Em    C      Dsus    D 
 
 
         Em                  D/F# 
Not much more than five foot tall 
    G                 C     Em7 Am            D 
But mountains big and small,    crumbled all away 
            Em      C    Em7 
When mama prayed 
     Am            Dsus   D 
They crumbled all away 
             Em     Cmaj7     Em     Cmaj7     Em     C    D    G
