G D A D
[Verse 1]
D A
The bright lights of the city are a pretty sight to see
A G D
Perhaps they're extra pretty to a country girl like me
D D7 G
Temptation waits at every turn and it won't let me be
G D A D
So mama when you pray tonight, say a special prayer for me
[Chorus]
A G D
I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding
E A A7
The goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding
D D7 G
So mama when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees
D A D
Mama say a special prayer for me
[Instrumental]
G D A D
[Verse 2]
D A
The nights get cold and lonely when you're far away from home
A G D
And lonely makes it easy for a good girl to go wrong
D D7 G
Evil eyes search through the night for lonely girls like me
G D A D
So mama when you pray tonight, say a special prayer for me
[Chorus]
A G D
I miss your tender goodnight kiss of love and understanding
E A A7
These goodnight kisses I get now are cruel and so demanding
D D7 G
So mama when you pray tonight and while you're on your knees
D A D
Mama say a special prayer for me
