Mama Say A Prayer Chords & Lyrics - Dolly Parton

[VERSE]
[Dm] [Am] [C] [F]
The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see
Dm [Am] C F
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me
Dm Am C F
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be
[Dm] [Am]
So mama when you pray tonight
[C] [F]
Say a special prayer for me

[CHORUS]
I [Dm]miss your tender goodnight [Am]kiss of love and understanding
The [Dm]goodnight kisses I get now [Am]are cruel and so demanding
So [Dm]mama when [Am]you pray tonight
And [Dm]while you're on [F]your knees
[F] C [G]
Mama say a special prayer for me

[VERSE]
The [Dm]nights get cold and lonely
When [Am]you're far away from home
[C] [F]
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong
[Dm]Evil eyes search through the night [Am]for lonely girls like me
So [C]mama when you [F]pray tonight
[C] [F]
Say a special prayer for me

[CHORUS]
I [Dm]miss your tender goodnight [Am]kiss of love and understanding
The [Dm]goodnight kisses I get now [Am]are cruel and so demanding
So [Dm]mama when [Am]you pray tonight
And [Dm]while you're on [F]your knees
[F] C [G]
Mama say a special prayer for me
