(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
|(D) / (Em) / |(D/F#) / (G) /

(Verse)
Before (D)that rooster's crowing
She's (G)kitchen-table sitting
Under-(A)lining the gospel
And (G)black-coffee (D)sipping
When that (D)sun gets to sinking
The (G)whole house is resting
And (A)she's thanking God
For those (G)fast-asleep (D)blessings

(Pre-Chorus)
Might (Bm)look like she (A)ain't doing (G)much
But (Bm)she's moving (A)mountains be-(G)cause

(Chorus)
That's the (D)power
The (Em)power of (D/F#)two folded (D)hands
Bowed (G)head, bended knees
When she (D)whispers dear Jesus
(Em)Heaven can hear it
And that (Bm)devil gets (A)back to Hell (G)running
That's the (Em)power
The (A)power of a praying (D)woman (Pray, ay, ay, (Em)ay)
Oh, a praying (D/F#)woman (Pray, ay, ay, (G)ay, ay, ay)

(Verse)
She (D)puts on a T-shirt, red (G)lipstick, blue jeans
But (A)she's wearing armor that (G)nobody (D)sees
Every (D)word she sent up came (G)answered back down
And (A)I'm living proof, 'cause this (G)lost girl got found 
 
(Chorus)
That's the (D)power
The (Em)power of (D/F#)two folded hands
Bowed (G)head, bended knees
When she (D)whispers dear Jesus, (Em)Heaven can hear it
And that (Bm)devil gets (A)back to Hell (G)running
That's the (D)power
The (D)power of a praying (D)woman
(Pray, ay, ay, (Em)ay, ay, ay)

(Break)
When a (Bm)storm gets to brewing
And the (A)war is a raging (raging)
Only (G)one way through it (ooh ooh ooh)
(D)You keep on (D/F#)praying
Find (D)truth in the trouble
Rise (Am)up from the (D)rubble
When (G)push comes to shoving
(G)You (A)keep (Bm)on (A)praying, (D)woman
(Em) Praying (D/F#)woman (G)

(Chorus)
That's the (D)power
The (Em)power of (D/F#)two folded hands
Bowed (G)head, bended knees
When she (D)whispers dear Jesus
(Em)Heaven can hear it
And that (Bm)devil gets (A)back to Hell (G)running (oh running)
That's the (Em)power (that's the power)
The (A)power of a praying (D)woman
(Of a praying (Em)woman) (D/F#)

(Outro.)
Of a praying (G)woman
Oh, the (D)power
Oh, the power
Oh, the (Em)power
Oh, the (D/F#)power of a praying (G)woman
Of a (A)praying (D)woman - - - - -
