How I Learned To Pray

Key: E

Introduction: E    

E  
When I was sixteen, that set of keys was a pair of wings
E                                                                                                            A  
Daddy, pretty please, can I take her out tonight?
                                                                                  E  
I swear I won't get her over fifty-five.
With Back in Black racing through my veins, last thing I thought
                                                                                          A  
Was if flipping this thing don't get me killed.
                                                             E  
I'm pretty sure my old man will.
E                                                 B                                                                                         E      A  
And seeing his face when the wrecker hauled my freedom away
                  B                                                 E  
That's how I learned to pray.
        B  
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse
             A                                              E  
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
        B                                                                                                    F#m  
Or just some words somebody taught me to say.
                  E  
I was living like I was long from the world, mama always said
                                                                                          A  
It'd take a special girl to get a hold of me,
                                                                E  
But I never let one get close to me.
E  
The man upstairs must've heard her prayer,
                                                                          Abm                              A  
Cause I looked up, you were standin' there waitin' on me
                                     E  
Like you were made for me.
                B                                                                                            A  
And I knew right then and there, I'd been saved
                             B                                 Em    E  
And that's how I learned to pray.
        B  
It wasn't in a church, with a chapter and a verse
                A                                            E  
Some preacher made sure everybody heard
        B                                                                                                 F#m  
Or just some words somebody taught me to say.
                B  
I can fold my hands and bow my head,
                                A                                                      E  
But there's just some things that can't be said
F#m                                                         Abm                              A  
Without a little walk on water kind of faith.
                                                                                E  
And that's how I learned to pray.

Have you ever looked up at the stars in the sky, felt a tug at your heart
                                                                A  
Didn't know why but you just knew
E      A                                                                                 E  
Someone is up there lookin' out for you.
                                     B                                                      E      A  
Well you know just what I mean when I say Grace.
                  B                                              E  
That's how I learned to pray.

That's how I learned to pray.
