[Verse 1]
    A
Oh, who did you say it was brother
A                      E       E7
Who was it fell by the way?
     A
When whiskey and blood ran together
    A           E   A
Did you hear anyone pray?

[Chorus]
   A          D      A
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
  D                  A
I didn't hear nobody pray
 A
I heard the crash on the highway
                  E      A
But I didn't hear nobody pray

[Verse 2]
       A                                                          E           E7
When I heard the crash on the highway I knew what it was from the start
  A                                                    E            A
I went to the scene of destruction, and a picture was stamped on my heart
    A
The whiskey and blood ran togteher
                                 E       E7
Mixed with the glass where they lay
      A
Death laid her hand in destruction
A                 E      A
But I didn't hear nobody pray


[Chorus]
   A          D      A
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
  D                  A
I didn't hear nobody pray
 A
I heard the crash on the highway
                  E      A
But I didn't hear nobody pray

[Verse 3]
  A                                                        E        E7
I wish I could change this sad story that I am now telling you
    A                                               E           A
But there is no way I can change it, for somebody's life is now through
      A
Their soul has been called by the master
                            E     E7
They died in a crash on the way
  A
I heard the throes of the dying
                  E      A
But I didn't hear nobody pray

[Chorus]
   A          D      A
I didn't hear nobody pray, dear brother
  D                  A
I didn't hear nobody pray
 A
I heard the crash on the highway
                  E      A
But I didn't hear nobody pray
