Lord we pray, give us this day

every week it costs the meek

Lord we pray, the American way,
A B

(Verse 2)

Who can believe in the lottery
or Lady Luck
give us some good ol' rent control
G
when times are tough
'cause money is funny,
when you think there's plenty
A
there's never enough
(Chorus)

Holy mama now, have a little mercy
Abm
have a little mercy on me
E Dbm
holy mackerel, I'm a little fish
Abm B
drowning in a great big sea
(Verse 3)

Lord we ask, show us a path
where ends will meet
how to address this modern stress
G
and how to compete
show us affection
and give us directions
A
to easy street
(Chorus)

Holy mama now, have a little mercy
Abm
have a little mercy on me

have a little mercy on me
