Somebody Praying For Me
View chords used in this chart
This album impresses me more and more, everytime I do another one of
these songs. The songwriting on this album is AMAZING.
This song is done in 'A' on the album. There is a F#m in this song
and, I hate that chord, so I decided to play with a capo, which made it
a very easy song to play. So that is how I am going to transcribe it.
The bridge I am a little weary of. I don't know if it is exactly
right. If you have any corrections be sure to let me know. This is
pretty close though.
