Living On A Prayer, A Hope And A Hand - Me Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Livin' on a prayer and a hop[Bb]e
and a hand [C]-me -down[Bb]
[F]Livin'[C] in the hell of a hea[Bb]ven
that we thought we'd [G]found
[F]Papa told us when the crops came through
all the [C]kids could go to [Am]town
Livin' on a prayer and [G]a hope
and a hand [C]-me -down
Sister Jane was twelve and I was nine
When she [Bb]told me there'd come a [C]time
When [F]her faded dress
and her [C]tattered coat
And her high heels would
[Bb]be m[Gm]ine[F][G]
But she [F]said I wasn't ready
for a [C]woman's world
So I really couldn't under[Am]stand
How our [F]daddy was a [G]heck of a [C]man
Livin' on a prayer and a [Bb]hope
and a hand -me -down
[C]Livin'[F] in [C]the hell of a heaven[Bb]
that we thought we'd [Gm]found[G]
[F]Papa told us when the crops came through
all the [C]kids could go to [Am]town
Livin' on a prayer and [G]a hope
and a hand [C]-me -down[Db][B]
[Db]Sister Jenny was a mighty strong girl,
[B]a homemaker all [Db]the way
And the [F#]women of the church
used to [Db]wipe their eyes
when she'd bring us in [B]to [Ab]pray
An[F#]d when we'd get
[Db]strong in the mouth,
she'd give us the back of her [Bbm]hand
And say your [Gb]daddy was a
[Ab]heck of a [Db]man[D]
Livin' on a prayer and [C]a hope
and a hand -me -down
[D]Livin'[G] in [D]the hell of a heaven[C]
that we thought we'd [Am]find[A]
[G]Papa told us when the cops came through
all the [D]kids could see the [Bm]town
Livin' on a prayer and [A]a hope
and a hand [D]-me -down[C]
[G]Livin' on a prayer and a [A]hope
and a hand -me [D]-down
[G]Livin' on a prayer and a [A]hope
and a hand [D]-me -down[C]
[G]Livin' on a prayer and [A]a hope
and a hand -me [D]-down
