Intro:
F   Gm7   F/A   F   A#
 
 
1 Verse:
        F
Before that rooster's crowing
       A#
She's kitchen-table sitting
      C
Underlining the gospel
     A#           F
And black-coffee sipping
 
           F
When that sun gets to sinking
     A#
The whole house is resting
     C
And she's thanking God
           A#          F
For those fast-asleep blessings  
 
Pre Chorus:
       Dm            C           A#
Might look like she ain't doing much
     Dm7          C            A#
But she's moving mountains because  
 
Chorus:
            F
That's the power
    Gm7      F/A        F
The power of two folded hands
       A#
Bowed head, bended knees
 
          F
When she whispers dear Jesus
Gm7
Heaven can hear it
          Dm7        C            A#
And that devil gets back to Hell running
 
           Gm7
That's the power
     C                  F
The power of a praying woman
            Gm7
(Pray-ay-ay-ay)
 
              F/A
Oh, a praying woman
            A#
(Pray-ay-ay-ay-a-ay-ay)  
 
2 Verse:
     F
She puts on a T-shirt
     A#
Red lipstick, blue jeans
     C
But she's wearing armor
      A#     F
That nobody sees
 
       F
Every word she sent up
      A#
Came answered back down
     C
And I'm living proof
             A#
'Cause this lost girl got found  
 
Chorus:
            F
That's the power
    Gm7      F/A        F
The power of two folded hands
       A#
Bowed head, bended knees
 
          F
When she whispers dear Jesus
Gm7
Heaven can hear it
          Dm7        C            A#
And that devil gets back to Hell running
 
           Gm7
That's the power
     C                  F
The power of a praying woman
            Gm7

Break:
        Dm7
When a storm gets to brewing
         C
And the war is a raging (raging)
      A#
Only one way through it (ooh ooh ooh)
 F           A7
You keep on praying
 
      Dm7
Find truth in the trouble
     Cm7          F
Rise up from the rubble
      A#           F/A
When push comes to shoving
 
 A#          C        F    Gm7
You keep on praying, woman
        F/A         A#
Praying woman-an-an-an  
 
Chorus:

That's the power
    Gm7      F/A
The power of two folded hands
       A#
Bowed head, bended knees
 
          F
When she whispers dear Jesus
Gm7
Heaven can hear it
          Dm7        C            A#
And that devil gets back to Hell running (oh running)
 
           Gm7
That's the power (that's the power)
