[Verse]
Bm G
He was a tough kid, high school quitter, from a broken home
Em Bm *
Just a Midwest boy, with a dream and a heart of gold
Bm G
For a steady pay he signed it all on the dotted line
Em
They gave him a gun, said have your fun
G
And sent him off to die
[Chorus]
D F C Bb
I got a song and a prayer for the dying
D F C Bb
Wherever you go, whatever you do
D F C Bb
You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying
D F C Bb
I got a song and a prayer for you
[Instrumental]
Bm* (x2)
[Verse]
Bm G
She was a high school prom queen, hiding secrets with her smile
Em Bm *
She ran away from home, yeah she ran about a million miles
Bm G
The man told the girl he would put her on the silver screen
Em G
She's never been found, she's the talk of the town, on the cover of a magazine
[Chorus]
D F C Bb
I got a song and a prayer for the dying
D F C Bb
Wherever you go, whatever you do
D F C Bb
You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying
D F C Bb
I got a song and a prayer for you
