Prayer For The Road

Tom: C

C   G   Am   F

           F          C          G                 Am
I found it outside of Birmingham headed to another place
        F            C                   G                C
Took me five hundred miles to get to the bottom of my suitcase
       F            C                    G                Am
It was in between a pair of jeans and my old black winter coat
F          C                  G             C
It took my breath away when I read what she wrote

C                            G
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Am                                F
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
C                              G
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Am                           F
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road

C   G   Am   F

F              C              G                  Am
As much as she misses me, she found the words to write
F         C                 G             C
Enough to keep me warm on a cold December night
             F          C     G               Am
And when I'm running on empty and I'm feeling lost
F              C      G             C
I can hear her voice, whispering to God

C                            G
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Am                                F
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
C                              G
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Am                           F
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road

C   G   Am   F

Dm                           C                G
Must have read that note at least a thousand times
Dm                           F                 G
It always takes me where the highway meets the sky

C                            G
May the wheels keep turning, get you where you need to go
Am                                F
I'll keep the porch light burning 'til you get back home
C                              G
May the angels fly beside you, down every mile you roll
Am                           F
May heaven hear this prayer, prayer for the road
