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.
