[Verse 1]
D                               Bm
For the homeless standin on the corner
       G                   D
Pushin papers and needin a buck
                              Bm
For the momma’s crying in the checkout line
      G                       D
Using food stamps down on her luck
                          Bm
To the farmers prayin for rain
         G                  D
Help the grain and children grow
D
Oh, the worlds in a drought
          G
Would you let it rain down
              A
Just a little bit of hope

[Chorus]
                 D    Bm
I’m throwin up a hale Mary
  G          D
A halleluiah song
                           Bm
Talkin bout a prayer right to you
          G                  A
That goes up on a fourth and long
        D                 G
There’s still time on the clock
              Bm                 A
And Lord with you we still got a shot
                     D    Bm  G         D
So, I’m throwin up a hale     Mar-ar-ar-ry
                  Bm  G         D
Throwin up a hale     Mar-ar-ar-ry

[Verse 2]
D                    Bm
We sure got a lot of hate runnin round
        G                D
Pointin fingers, pointin guns
D
We need to change the A
       Bm
Let em here your name
           G                  D
Get the world spinnin back on love

There’s still time on the clock
              Bm                 A
And Lord with you we still got a shot
                     D    Bm  G         D
