[Intro]

G Bm C D

[Verse 1]

G                              Bm
When I look up from the bottom
C                            D
But still don’t see the Light
G                                     Bm
I feel like my whole world
C                            D
Is stuck in the darkest night
G                                                       Bm
And there’s a million different questions
C                            D
That my mind’s running through
G                            Bm                            C
And I don’t know exactly what to do

Chorus:

G                Bm      C         D
I pray, I get down on my knees
G                            Bm
And drift away
C                   D                            B7         Em
He covers me with His amazing grace
B7                            G/D                            A/C#
When I need it, He fills that empty space
C                                                        Cm
And it always seems to take the hurt away
G   Bm   C   D
When I pray

Verse 2]

G                                                       Bm
When I’m searching for the answer
C                            D
But I can’t find the truth
G                            Bm
And I’m ready just to give up
C                            D
Give in and just be through
G                            Bm
I lift my eyes toward Heaven
C                            D
And I see it loud and clear
G                            Bm                            C
Everything I’m looking for’s right here

Chorus

G              Bm           C           D
I pray, I get down on my knees
G           Bm
And drift away
C           D                     B7           Em
He covers me with His amazing grace
B7                     G/D                     A/C#
When I need it, He fills that empty space
C
And it always seems to take the hurt away
D           C                     Cm
And He’s never really far away
G Bm C D G
When I pray

How to play I Pray Acoustic: key, chords and progression

I Pray Acoustic by Red Marlow sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 9 chords to play it: G, Bm, C, D, B7, Em, G/D, A/C# and Cm.

Listen for G – Bm – C – D (I – iii – IV – V in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – fah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm and Cm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
