Like a Prayer - Madonna

[Intro] (voices)

Dm C Gm Dm
Life is a mystery
Dm C Gm Dm
Everyone must stand a - lone
Dm C Gm F
I hear you call my name
Bb F C Dm
And it feels like home

[Chorus]

F C
When you call my name
Bb
It's like a little prayer
Am
I'm down on my knees
Gm C F
I wanna take you there
F C
In the midnight hour
Bb
I can feel your power
Am
Just like a prayer
Gm C Bb
You know I'll take you there

[Verse]

Bb F
I hear your voice
C Dm
It's like an angel sighing
Bb F C
I have no choice I hear your voice
C
Feels like flying
Bb F
I close my eyes
C Dm
Oh God I think I'm falling
Bb F C
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
C
Heaven help me

[Chorus]

F C
When you call my name
Bb
It's like a little prayer
Am
 I'm down on my knees
Gm C F
I wanna take you there
F C
In the midnight hour
Bb
I can feel your power
Am
Just like a prayer
Gm C Bb
You know I'll take you there

[Verse]

Bb F
Like a child
C Dm
You whisper softly to me
Bb F C
You're in control just like a child
C
Now I'm dancing
Bb F
It's like a dream
C Dm
No end and no beginning
Bb F
You're here with me it's like a dream
C
Let the choir sing

[Chorus]

F C
When you call my name
Bb
It's like a little prayer
Am
I'm down on my knees
Gm C F
I wanna take you there
F C
In the midnight hour
Bb
I can feel your power
Am
Just like a prayer
Gm C Bb
You know I'll take you there
