Somebody Praying For Me

• F#m

This album impresses me more and more, everytime I do another one of 
these songs.  The songwriting on this album is AMAZING.   
 
This song is done in 'A' on the album.  There is a F#m in this song 
and, I hate that chord, so I decided to play with a capo, which made it 
a very easy song to play.  So that is how I am going to transcribe it. 
The bridge I am a little weary of.  I don't know if it is exactly 
right.  If you have any corrections be sure to let me know.  This is 
pretty close though. 
 
Capo 2nd fret 
 
Intro:  G  C  G  C 
 
G 
She left Oklahoma for California  
    C 
Sunglasses on the brim of her hat 
G 
Smoke was pourin from that old Cadilac  
         C 
But she wasn't turning back 
Em     D          G 
Just outside of Flagstaff,  
       C 
Motor blew on her Coupe DeVille 
Em       D       G 
Just in time she saw a sign,  
         C                          D 
There was a Texaco waiting at the bottom of the hill. 
 
And she said 
 
Chorus I 
 
G                   C 
Somebody must be prayin for me 
G                           D 
Somebody out there must be prayin for me 
C                D 
Must be angels, I can't see 
Em                D          G 
Somebody must be prayin for me 
 
G C  Yeah  G  C 
 
Verse 2 
 
G 
A boy about twenty climbed out of a truck 
    C 
All covered in grease and dirt 
G 
She said hey charles, but he just laughed 
            C 
And said I'm Wearing my daddy's shirt. 
Em              D       G 
He stood there lost in her eyes  
    C 
And she got lost in his 
Em         D        G 
As the years rolled by she would sigh 
     C            D 
Everytime they kissed. 
 
Repeat Chorus I 
 
Bridge 
 
Em                              C 
Sometimes she stares out the window 
Am                              D 
And wonders about her Hollywood dreams 
Em                            C 
But when she tucks her kids in bed 
Am                                 D 
She softly whispers as they fall asleep 
 
Chorus II (softly) 
 
G                   C 
Somebody must be prayin for me 
G                              D 
Somebody out there must be prayin for me 
C                                      C 
Ain't it funny how you always find, just what you need. 
Em                D         G 
Somebody must be prayin for me. 
 
G                 D         G 
Somebody must be prayin for me 
 
Outro: Same as intro 
 
(sing over outro) 
 
Somebody must be prayin for me.
