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
