(“Rainbow Man” CD)

Intro D-A-D

G D

I'd been to Church on Sunday, and I'd been in jail.

Em G D

And I put my family through livin' hell.

Bm A G

And I'd been a heavy cross to bear,

A D

On the wings of Mama's prayers.

G D G D

I spent her last dollar on somethin' bad for me.

Em G D

I finally hit rock bottom, couldn't get up on my knees.

Bm A G

But the strength came to lift me up from there,

A D

On the wings of Mama's prayers.

Bm D G

I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide,

D A

Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes.

Bm G D G

She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared.

D A D

And I found salvation on the wings of Mama's prayers.

Inst: D-A-D

I was lost in the darkness searching for the end.

Em G D

But the light of Mama's love led me back again.

Bm A G

An' if I've got a place in Heaven, I'll get there,

A D

On the wings of Mama's prayers.

Bm G

I see her by the bed with her Bible open wide,

D A D

Lookin' up at Heaven with tears in her eyes.

She knew when I was troubled, she knew when I was scared.

And I found salvation on the wings of Mama's prayers.

I'm still holding on to the wings of Mama's prayers.
