VerseDmAmCF
The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see
DmAmCF
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me
DmAmCF
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be
DmAm
So mama when you pray tonight
CF
Say a special prayer for me
ChorusDmAm
I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding
DmAm
The goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding
DmAm
So mama when you pray tonight
DmF
And while you're on your knees
FCG
Mama say a special prayer for me
VerseDm
The nights get cold and lonely
Am
When you're far away from home

And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong
DmAm
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me
CF
So mama when you pray tonight
CF
Say a special prayer for me
ChorusDmAm
I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding
DmAm
The goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding
DmAm
So mama when you pray tonight
DmF
And while you're on your knees

Mama say a special prayer for me
