Answer me, Lord above: 
Dm                                  Am 
Just what sin have I been guilty of? 
Dm                                   C 
Tell me how I came to lose my love. 
  G                                  C 
Please answer me, oh, Lord.  
 
C                           Em 
She was mine yesterday, 
Dm                                              Am 
An' I believed that love was here to stay. 
Dm                                         C 
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray:

Please answer me, oh, Lord.

Don't tell her I care. 
Em                                Am 
But if she still thinks about me,

Please let her hear my prayer.  
 
C                             Em      
Let her know I've been true. 
Dm                                      Am 
Send her back so we can start anew.

In my sorrow, may I turn to you?

Please answer me, oh, Lord.  
 
Em                           Am 
If she's happier without me,

Don't tell her I care. 
Em                                Am

Please let her hear my prayer.  
 
C                             Em      
Let her know I've been true.

Send her back so we can start anew.

In my sorrow, may I turn to you?
