  Em               D                Em                D
First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes


 Em                     D         Am         Em
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply

 Em       D                    Em        D
She was a stranger I had not known for years


      Em              D              Am              Em
She brought to me so many smiles & tears, smiles & tears

Verse:
------
Tired maid slowly drifts into the past, into the past
And finds a home where echos rest, echos rest
She softly kissed my mind, and whispered what we will do with time, do with time

Chorus:
-------
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Bridge: (play Riff A then Chorus)

Verse:
------
Another man I choose to be, choose to be
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Another man I want to be, want to be
And this question, keeps haunting me, haunting me


Chorus:
-------
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Outro:(Play Riff A)
