Intro: C Em C Em 

C            Em
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: 
G                      C
Please answer me, oh, Lord.  
 
Em                   Am
If she's happier without me, 
Em               B7
Don't tell her I care. 
Em                        Am
But if she still thinks about me, 
Dm                     G
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. 
Dm                      C
In my sorrow, may I turn to you? 
G                   C
Please answer me, oh, Lord.  
 
Em                   Am
If she's happier without me, 
Em               B7
Don't tell her I care. 
Em                        Am
But if she still thinks about me, 
Dm                     G
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. 
Dm                      C
In my sorrow, may I turn to you? 
G                   C
Please answer me, oh, Lord.
