Too Late for Prayin' Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It [F#m]was only yesterday[G]
When I [Asus4]heard the tea[A]cher say[D]
Pa[F#m]tiently, one and two make [G]three
We [Em]were children, [A]you and [F#m]me
Let us [Bm]pray for the [G]ones they call
[Asus4]The children [A]of today
[D][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Nothin' left [F#m]but promises[G]
Nothin' much [D]is certain
All we see is [Bm]want and [D]need
across [Abdim]the board,[E]
Why [G]thank you lord
[A]We're liv[D]in' in the[G] glory of you[Asus4]r care[A]
[F#]Skies of blue have all t[Bm]urned brown[Abdim][E]
To the sound of [A]cryin
[G]Lord [D]abide, let [F#]us stem the tide
[Bm]Of b[D]roke[E]n dreams
Some[G]times you seem [F#m]to tell [D]us
It's too [G]late [Asus4]for prayi[A]n'[D]
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
See the ocean [F#m]wild and b[G]lue
Think of all that's [D]in her
She will not sur[Bm]render [D]to the likes [E]of us,
But [G]then she must
They [F#m]tell u[D]s, wise men [G]tell us,
it's too [Asus4]late[A][F#]
For each child [Bm]with eyes that [E]smile
There'll be ten more [A]cryin'
[G]Lord [D]abide, let [F#]us stem [Bm]the time[D]
Of [Abdim]helpless [E]ness
But [G]then [A]I guess we're [D]livin'
Is it too [G]late [Asus4]for prayi[A]n'[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G]
[Asus4][A][D][F#m][G][Asus4][A][D]

[Verse 4]
Nothin' here but [F#m]grains [G]of sand
Nothin' much worth [D]savin'
Guess we've all got [Bm]problems
[D]of [Abdim]our own t[E]o bear,
[G]And still [A]we share
Tomor[F#m]row co[D]uld get
[G]better than [Asus4]today[A][F#]
To the ones who've [Bm]loved in [E]vain
Will ya be be[A]holden
[G]Lord [D]abide, let [F#]us stem [Bm]the tide
[D]Of bro[E]ken dreams
Some[A]times ya seem [D]to tell us
It's too [G]late [Asus4]for prayi[A]n[D]
