When Mama Prayed Chords by Kingsmen

When Mama _ prayed, _ _ [Eb] Heaven _ _ paid _
[Bb] _ attention. _ _ _ _
The angels [C] spread their wings and stood [F] _ prepared.
_ _ For once [Bb] again, _ [Eb] Satan's a new defeat, _
[Bb] defeated. _ _ _ _ _
Cause God had heard [F] a dear old _
[Bb] Mama's _ prayer. _ _
In _ my yesteryears of childhood, _
[Eb] _ my Mama taught me that having fun
was Sunday morning meeting time, every [C] time the church bells [F] rung.
_ [Bb] And after our family devotion at the house, why she'd lead me up those [Eb] _
stairs.
_ That's where I first heard the [Bb] echo _ [F] of my dear old sweet [Bb] Mama's prayer.
_ _ _ _ _ In this modern age of missiles, _ [Eb] _ _
tanks and ships [Bb] and guns,
_ when men believe there's just one way, that a war is [F] ever _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ that secret weapon
that all the law _ _
[Eb] can't compare.
For I won a [Bb] thousand battles, _ _ [F] dear old Mama [Bb] _ _ prayed.
_ _ Heaven [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] paid attention. _ _ _
Only angels [F] spread their wings and [Bb] stood prepared.
_ _ _ For once [Eb] again, _ _ [Ab] Satan's a new defeat, [Eb] _ defeated.
_ _ [Ab] _ _
Cause God had heard [Bb] a dear old [Eb] Mama's _ _ _ prayer.
[Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] Mama _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ taught _ _ me [Bb] how to pray like [Eb] Mama _ did.
_ Like _ _ Mama _ _ _ [Eb] did.
