WHEN MAMA PRAYED
IntroÉ G C G C G C G
G
Daddy never went to church on Sunday, he said, ÔThatÕs one thing IÕll never doÕ
C G Am D
But mama never gave up, she said, ÔOne day, heÕll be sitting here beside of me and you.Õ
G
I can still hear mama softly talking, her tears falling on her folded hands
C G Am D
So that Easter Sunday daddy walked in, thatÕs when I began to understand
G C G D
ChorusÉWhen mama prayed, good things happened
G C D
When mama prayed, lives were changed
G D G C
Not much more than five foot tall, but mountains big and small
Am D G
Crumbled all the way when mama prayed
InstrumentalÉ C GÊÊÊÊÊC G
G
Seventeen and wild I hit the bottle, doing anything I dang well pleased
C G Am D
Burning down lifeÕs highway at full throttle, while mama burned a candle on her knees
G
Then one night I came home half sober, I saw mama kneeling in the den
C G Am D
As I listened she and Jesus talked it over, and I knew my restless days were Ôbout to end
Repeat chorusÉCause when mamaÉÉ
Em C
It isnÕt like every one of them got answered,
G D
but the times they werenÕt it seemed to me were rare
Em C Am D
you almost felt sorry for the devil, cause heaven knows he didnÕt have a prayer
G C G D GÊÊÊÊC D

Not much more than five foot tall, but mountains big and small
Am D G C
Crumbled all the way when mama prayed
