When Mama Prayed-crd Randy Travis
Capo on 1st fret...
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
