A Simple Prayer, by Jeffrey Gaines


Em1: basstring A is played (in tone B: finger behind second fret),                                              Em2: instead of the A-string now the
E-string is played

Intro: C-Em1-Em2-Am-C-Em1-basewalk over G and Fis on top basestring (E) to Em2-Am

C                           Em1                          Em2                       Am                      C                                              
Neighter side will win, all are sure to fail,  but not joining in is an act of betrayal
C                           Em1                                Em2                      Am                               C
Betrayal to your king,and all he fought before, the noblest of things is to die in their war
C                            Em1                              Em2                 Am                                   C
Neighter should begin, but everyone will lose, soldiers of tin, with everything to prove
C                        Em1                               Em2                    Am
Who do we oppose, and what do we defend, honor I suppose

                              G                  (base Fis/low strings G)     (Em/low strings G) D                              
And your simple day, with a simple prayer, pray they're o.k, and end an old scare
                   C                      (base B/low strings C)        Am  
Pray they return, with that faculty, and one day we'll learn and force futility
                            G                    (base Fis/low strings G)Em                          D        C
And your simple day, with a simple song, soon fade away, don't bother strong
                     C                 (base B/low strings C)        Am 
Hope they return, to live happily, and one day we'll learn and force futility

C                          Em1                                 Em2                                   Am    
Neighter side wil win, for nothing will be gained, know the finest of kin have this casualty

These are words of kings, commanders and chiefs, you hear the same sort of things, from 
                          C   
scoundrels and thiefs

Neighter should begin, for what a price we pay, soldiers of tin being blown away
C                       Em, base G-Fis Em2(cord)          Am                                     ,                                              Not about

And your simple day , with a simple prayer, pray they're o.k., and end an old     scare
D                 C                  base B/low strings C          Am
Pray they return, without faculty, and one day we'll learn to force futility

                     C                 base B/low strings C          Am
Hope they return, to their family, and one day we'll learn to force futility
