Mary’s Prayer - Danny Wilson
(Intro) [C]
F G Am7 Am
Everything is wonderful, Being here is heavenly
F G Am7 Am
Every single day, she says, Everything is free
F G Am7 Am
I used to be so careless, As if I couldn't care less
F G C Csus4 C
Did I have to make mistakes, When I was Mary's prayer.
F G Am7 Am
Suddenly the heavens rolled, Suddenly the rain came down
F G Am7 Am
Suddenly was washed away, The Mary that I knew
Dm Bb Am7 Am
So when you find somebody you'll keep, Think of me and celebrate
F G C Csus4 C
I made such a big mistake, When I was Mary's Prayer.
|CHORUS:
| F G Em Am F C
|So if I say save me save me, Be the light in my eyes
| F G Em Am F Bb
|And if I say ten Hail Ma-ry's, Leave a light on in heaven, for me.
F G Am7 Am
Blessed is the one who shares, The power and your beauty, Mary
F G Am7 Am
Blessed is the millionaire, Who shares your wedding day
Dm Bb Am7 Am
So when you find somebody you'll keep, Think of me and celebrate
F G C Csus4 C
I made such a big mistake, When I was Mary's Prayer.
|CHORUS (x2)
F G Am7 Am
If you want the fruit to fall, You have to give the tree a shake
F G Am7 Am
But if you shake the tree too hard, The bough is gonna break
Dm Bb Am7 Am
And if I can't reach the top of the tree, Mary you can hold me up there
F G C Csus4 C
What I wouldn’t give to be when I was Mary’s Prayer. x2
