🎸 Intro: G Bm Em C 🎸 Verse 1: G I'd be a "For Sale" sign on the side of the road Bm I'd be a broke-down heart with a secondhand soul Em C Be a King James dust-covered on a Sunday G I'd be a tumbleweed at the will of the wind Bm Goin' halfway to hell and back again Em C I'd be way off, no doubt I'd be a lost cause
🎸 Chorus: G If it wasn't for a prayin' woman Bm If it wasn't for an angel who believed Em If it wasn't for the folded-hand "amens" C To the Man upstairs talkin' 'bout me G Yeah I'm boots and jeans in a back pew church Bm She's a halo here on Earth Em Lookin' out for me C Lord knows where I'd be If it wasn't for a prayin' woman 🎸 Verse 2: G Every time I last-second saw the light Bm Yeah, every wrong turn that ended up right Em Things like that don't just happen C I don't wanna imagine 🎸 Chorus: G If it wasn't for a prayin' woman Bm If it wasn't for an angel who believed Em If it wasn't for the folded-hand "amens" C To the Man upstairs talkin' 'bout me G Yeah I'm boots and jeans in a back pew church Bm She's a halo here on Earth Em Lookin' out for me C Lord knows where I'd be G Bm If it wasn't for a prayin' woman 🎸 Post-Chorus: Em C If it wasn't for a prayin' woman 🎸 Bridge: G I'd be a "For Sale" sign on the side of the road Bm I'd be a broke-down heart with a secondhand soul Em C Amen, oh, can I get an "amen"? 🎸 Chorus: G If it wasn't for a prayin' woman Bm If it wasn't for an angel who believed Em If it wasn't for the folded-hand "amens" C To the Man upstairs talkin' 'bout me G Yeah I'm boots and jeans in a back pew church Bm She's a halo here on Earth Em Lookin' out for me C Lord knows where I'd be G If it wasn't for a prayin' woman 🎸 Outro: Bm Lord knows where I'd be Em If it wasn't for a prayin' woman C Lord knows where I'd be G If it wasn't for a prayin' woman
