[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

You gotta be strong, you gotta keep trying
 D        F          C         Bb
I got a song and a prayer for you

[Chorus]
