Too Late For Prayin

C          F                 
It was only yesterday when I 
Gsus4     G       C
heard the teacher say
Em                            F  
Patiently, "One and two makes 
            Dm7       G       Em
three" We were children, you and me
       Am              F       
Let us pray... for the ones they 
           Gsus4    G    C   G
call the children of today

[Verse 1]
C                Em        F    
Nothing left but promises, 
           C
nothing much is certain
C      C/B    Am       Am/G    
All we see is want and need across 
D/F#
the board.
    G/F
Why thank you, Lord

[Chorus]
      C             F             
We're living in the glory of your 
Gsus4 G
care
E                  Am  C/G    
Skies of blue have all turned 
D/F#                  G
brown to the sound of sighing
G/F     C           E7       Am 
Lord, abide; let us stem the 
  C/G D/F#
tide of broken dreams
   G/F                C           
Sometimes you seem to tell us it's
     F Gsus4 G       C       G
 too late        for praying

[Verse 2]
C             Em             F  
See the ocean wild and blue; 
                 C
think of all that's in her
C        C/B    Am    Am/G    
She will not surrender to the likes 
D/F#
of us
    G/F
But then she must.

[Chorus]
      C                F          
They tell us, wise men tell us 
   Gsus4 G
it's too late
E                   Am   C/G  
For each child with eyes that 
D/F#                        G
smile, there'll be ten more cryin'
G/F     C           E7       Am 
Lord, abide; let us stem the 
  C/G D/F#
tide of helplessness
   G/F                   C        
But then, I guess, we're livin'. 
        F Gsus4 G    C
Is it too late    for tryin'?

Em F Gsus4 G

[Verse 3]
C                Em              
Nothing here but grains of sand; 
F                  C
nothin' much worth savin'
C           C/B     Am       
Guess we've all got problems 
Am/G   D/F#
of our own to bear
    G/F
And still we share.

[Chorus]
C                  F             
Tomorrow could get better than 
Gsus4 G
today
E                Am  C/G D/F#  
To the ones who loved in vain, 
              G
will you be beholden?
G/F     C           E7       Am 
Lord, abide; let us stem the 
  C/G D/F#
tide of broken dreams
   G/F                C           
Sometimes you seem to tell us it's
     F Gsus4 G  C       G
 too late for   prayin'
