D                                         G
When you hear the thunder booming, when you see
                D
the lightning flash, When the castles you have
                   E
builded have all fallen with a crash,
           D                             G
And when everything about you has all crumbled
     D
to decay, If you’ll just start right in praying,
                  A      D
you can pray the clouds away.

Refrain:
  D                                G
Pray the clouds away, the dreary clouds so dark
     D
and gray; Pray unto the Lord, believe the
   E            A      D
promise of His word; Clouds are like the snow:
                 G                 D
when shines the sun, they all must go;
                                        A
Pray until you pray, and you will pray the
         D
clouds away.
                                          G
When old Satan keeps tormenting, telling you a
        D
lot of lies, Then again, it seems the shadows
          E                               D
come to veil your sunny skies;  When he laughs
               G               D
at all your weakness, and he mocks you as you

pray, Once again just start in praying,
                 A           D
and you’ll pray the clouds away.
