Pray Where You Are by The Lost Dogs
INTRO G C G C G G
G D
In the submarines and tanks
C
In the S and Ls and banks
G C G D
In the cancer wards the prisons and the bars
G D
On the earth and on the moon
C
in the closet in your room
G C G D
In the flop houses the think tanks and the farms
C G
To the salesman forever trying to sell
C D
To the faithful daughter walking to the well
CHORUS
G C
Oh, pray where you are
G C
Pray where you are
G D
In the fields and in the factories
C
there's no limits rules or boundaries
G C D
At work or school or driving in your car
G (G4 G)
Pray where you are
In the strip joints in the church
On a desperate lifetime search
On the airplanes on the backroads and the rails
On the blacktops on the beach
Down a sewer and up a creek
In the penthouses the poolhalls and the jails
To the criminal with no one left to con
To the movie star whose day has come and gone
CHORUS
C G
To the junky with his back against the wall
C D
To the lawman as he breaks another law
In the desert on the shore
And in peacetime and in war
In the pentagon the court rooms and the malls
In the tents and in the caves
At the truckstops by the graves
In our hopes and fears and struggles great and small
To the corner bum that no one seems to hear
to the president who prays for four more years
CHORUS
CHORUS
Pray where you are
Pray where you are
D G
