[Verse 1]
G           C               D
Dreamy afternoon 'neath the summer sun
G               C                     D
We'd lie by the lake till the evening comes
G    C                                   D
I run my fingers through your sun streaked hair
Em              D/F#    G  
Baby that's the power of prayer
 
 
[Verse 2]
G      C                D
Summer nights, summer's in the air
G           C               D
I stack the tables with the chairs
G            C                        D
It's closing time and you're standing there
Em              D/F#     G
Baby that's the power of prayer
 
 
[Chorus]
C                             G
It's a fixed game without any rules
                            C
An empty table on a ship of fools
                               Em
I'm holding hearts, I play the pair
             D/F#              G  Gsus4  G
Darling it's just the power of prayer

C                             G
It's a fixed game without any rules
                            C
An empty table on a ship of fools
                               G
I'm holding hearts, I play the pair
                                C
I'm going all in 'cause I don't care
                                G
They say that love it comes and goes
                               C
But darling what, what do they know
                                       Em
I'm reaching for heaven, we'll make it there
             D/F#              C
Darling it's just the power of prayer
          D                 Em
Baby it's just the power of prayer
             D/F#              G  Gsus4  G
Darling it's just the power of prayer
 
 
[Verse 3]
G              C       D
Last call, the bouncer shuts the door
G          C                        D
This magic moment drifts across the floor
G         C            D
As Ben E. King's voice fills the air
Em              D/F#     G
Baby that's the power of prayer
