I Heard My Mother Praying For Me chords - Hank Williams

(Intro)
A E A


A                    D        A
Last night as I lay down to sleep,
    E             -A
I heard someone began to weep.
           D            A
Then I got up, just to see

                     E        A
I heard my mother praying for me.


A                D      A
She was kneeling by her bed,
      E                  A
And tears of pain were being shed.
               D                     A
She said, 'Dear God, please hear my plea'.
                     E        A
I heard my mother praying for me.


A               D       A
I got my Bible and set out,
     E           A
And in the Holy Book I found
            D            -A
The way to end this misery.
                      E         A
Thank God my mother prayed for me.


A              D        A
I read it on into the night,
     E             A
And soon began to see the light
            D                A
And now at last my soul is free.
                      E        A
Thank God my mother prayed for me.
