[Verse 1]
Em7           Am7
The moment I wake up
             D7    Gmaj7
Before I put on my makeup
  F#m7                    B7-9
I say a little prayer for you
Em7                Am7
While combining my hair, now
              D7      Gmaj7
And wondering what dress to wear now
  F#m7                    B7-9
I say a little prayer for you
 
[Chorus]
   C       D/C           Bm         G/B
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
    G7    Fmaj7/G G7
And I will love you
    C       D/C       Bm        G/B
Forever, forever, we never will part
   Dm7/G G7
Oh, how I'll love you
   C        D/C            Bm         G/B
Together, together, that's how it must be
    G7   Fmaj7/G G7
To live without you
       C        D/C            B7
Would only mean heartbreak for me
 
[Verse 2]
Em7           Am7
I run for the bus, dear
            D7    Gmaj7
While riding I think of us, dear
  F#m7                    B7-9
I say a little prayer for you
Em7                Am7
At work I just take time
                    D7    Gmaj7
And all through my coffee break time
  F#m7                    B7-9
I say a little prayer for you
 
[Chorus]
   C       D/C           Bm         G/B
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
    G7    Fmaj7/G G7
And I will love you
    C       D/C       Bm        G/B
Forever, forever, we never will part
   Dm7/G G7
Oh, how I'll love you
   C        D/C            Bm         G/B
Together, together, that's how it must be
    G7   Fmaj7/G G7
To live without you
       C        D/C            B7
Would only mean heartbreak for me
 
[Instrumental]
(Verse chords)
 
[Chorus]

    G7    Fmaj7/G G7
And I will love you
    C       D/C       Bm        G/B
Forever, forever, we never will part
   Dm7/G G7
Oh, how I'll love you
   C        D/C            Bm         G/B
Together, together, that's how it must be
    G7   Fmaj7/G G7
To live without you

[Coda]
Em7           Am7
My darling, believe me
               Am7/D        Gmaj7
For me there is no one   but you
Am7/D         Gmaj7   Am7/D
Please love me too
                Gmaj7   Am7/D
I'm in love with you
         Gmaj7
Answer my prayer
Am7/D           Gmaj7         Am7/D
 Say you love me too
                      Gmaj7         Am7/D
Why don't you answer my prayer, yeah
                                  Gmaj7         Am7/D
You know every day I say a little prayer
                               Gmaj7         Am7/D
I say, I say   I say a little prayer  (fade)

Capo on the 2nd I think. That's how Aretha does it :D

With Aretha's version you want to play a C instead of F#m in the verse. Not a bad tab!
