  			C                          F 
A sinner's prayer is never answered 

           C                  G7 
A sinner's dreams cannot come true 

          C              F 
The one I love now loves another 

          C  G7       C 
So sad am I alone and blue 


                        F 
Upon my bosom lies your picture 

                 C                G7 
With tear dimmed eyes I placed it there 

           C               F 
Down on my knees I pray to heaven 

           C    G7          C 
But angels heed no sinner's prayer 


                           F 
A sinner's prayer is never answered 

           C                G7 
A sinner's hopes are all in vain 

          C              F 
The one I love now loves another 

           G7          C 
I'll never see my love again 


                               F 
Dear Lord above please hear my pleading 

           C                G7 
Bow not my head in darkness fair 

            C                F 
She's all I love she's all I needed 

             C    G7         C 
Oh won't you hear a sinner's prayer
