Subject: CRD Too Late For Prayin'/ Gordon Lightfoot
Too Late For Prayin'
Gordon Lightfoot
Intro:
C F Gsus4 G C
It was only yesterday when I heard the teacher say
Em F Dm7 G Em
Patiently, "One and two makes three" We were children, you and me
Am F Gsus4 G C G
Let us pray... for the ones they call the children of today
C Em F C
Nothing left but promises, nothing much is certain
C /B Am /G D/F#
All we see is want and need across the board.
G/F
Why thank you, Lord
C F Gsus4 G
We're living in the glory of your care
E Am C/G D/F# G
Skies of blue have all turned brown to the sound of sighing
G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#
Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of broken dreams
G/F C F Gsus4 G C G
Sometimes you seem to tell us it's too late for praying
C Em F C
See the ocean wild and blue; think of all that's in her
C /B Am /G D/F#
She will not surrender to the likes of us
G/F
But then she must.
C F Gsus4 G
They tell us, wise men tell us it's too late
E Am C/G D/F# G
For each child with eyes that smile, there'll be ten more cryin'
G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#
Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of helplessness
G/F C F Gsus4 G C
But then, I guess, we're livin'. Is it too late for tryin'?
Am F Gsus4 G C, Em F Gsus4 G
C Em F C
Nothing here but grains of sand; nothin' much worth savin'
C /B Am /G D/F#
Guess we've all got problems of our own to bear
G/F
And still we share.
C F Gsus4 G
Tomorrow could get better than today
E Am C/G D/F# G
To the ones who loved in vain, will you be beholden?
G/F C E7 Am C/G D/F#
Lord, abide; let us stem the tide of broken dreams
G/F C F Gsus4 G C G
Sometimes you seem to tell us it's too late for prayin'
Em F Gsus4 G C, Em F Dm7 G, Em Am F Gsus4 G C.
