ALord hear my prayer
ELook down on me
DI'm not as wealthy as AI used to be
It's Bmnot even ten and I'm F#mbusted again
DWhy does this happen to Eme?
AGive me a sign
EShow me you care
DA straight to the Ace Lord, or Aeven a pair
I can't Bmmake it alone and I'll F#msink like a stone
Unless Dyou can undo what I've Edone
So DLord lift me up in your Atender embrace
DLend me your wisdom, your Astrength and your grace
DHelp me to Adimsmash my Aopponent's Abdimfat F#mface
Oh Lord Dhelp me take Emoney from my AfrieEnds
A E Eaug
ADeep down I know
That it's Eonly a game
But DI want them shaking in Aterror and shame
It's just Bmpoker and beer
Still I F#mneed them to fear me Lord
DIt's not enough just to Ewin
DDeal me good cards and I'll Ahandle the math
DWe'll take their money while Athey take a bath
D Adim(x01212) A Abdim F#m
I'll show them my hand and you'll show them your wrath
D E A E
OEh Lord help me take money from my friends
F#m C#aug (x4322x)***
And I don't want to cheat them
ABecause I know that's a B7sin
(fingerpick on D string: 2,3)
F#mI just want to deC#augfeat them
And make it Ahurt when I B7win
Make it Dhurt when I Ewin...Eaug
So Apoke them with sticks
And Ecrush them with stones
DChew them up good Lord and Aspit out their bones
Make Bmmy riches grow and let F#mthose bitches know
That you Dhate them and love only Eme
DBurn it all down until Anothing survives
DMake them regret for the Arest of their lives
The Dday that they Adimbet their Adogs and Abdimtheir F#mwives
Oh Lord Dhelp me take Emoney from
DHelp me take Emoney from
D E A E A
HeAlp me take money from my friends

** In order to not lose your mind playing the A Abdim F#m chords in rapid succession,
a higher inversion of A, like 577655 (E major barred on 5)
