Lyrics

Dad dy does n’t (B7)pray an y more.

I guess he’s fin ished talk (A)in’ to the Lord.

He (A)used to fold his hands and bow his (E)head down (E)to the floor,

but (E)Dad dy does n’t pray an y more.

I re (E)mem ber e ven (B7)when the times were bad,

he thanked Je sus for ev ’ry thing he had:

For a (A)good wife and three chil dren and the food up (E)on our plates.

Ev ’ry thing

was right when he’d say grace.

Dad dy does n’t pray an y more.

I guess he’s fin ished talk (A)in’ to the Lord.

He (A)used to fold his hands and bow his head down (E)to the floor,

but (E)Dad dy does n’t pray an y more.

There was a (E)time I when we (B7)did n’t get a long,

’cause I thought I was right and he was wrong.

Still, when (A)I laid down at night I’d hear him get down (E)on his knees and af say

a lit tle prayer for me.

Dad dy does n’t pray an y more.

I guess he’s fi n’lly walk (A)in’ with the Lord.

He (A)used to fold his hands and bow his head down (E)to the floor,

but (E)Dad dy does n’t pray an y more.

Yes — "Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature E, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have.

What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 150 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
