OPENER

4 Ladies Chain across that old ring now

Turn and Chain ‘em right Back on home

Join up hands, Circle to the  Left, movin’ and go

Allemande your corner now Weave round that Ring

Swing a little girl, and then you Promenade her I say

She brings home her pay, for love, for love

FIGURE

Heads you Tch. 1/4, Boys Run Right

Right and Left Thru, why don’t you turn ‘em tonight

Veer Left, Ferris Wheel, ‘round you go… Zoom

Corner Swing, Promenade

Take my hand, we’ll make it, I swear

Oh, oh, (living on a prayer)

MIDDLE BREAK

We've gotta hold on to what we've got

It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not

Oh, oh, living on a prayer

Allemande Left your corner girl,

Come  back and Promenade that square

Oh, oh, living on a prayer

Oh, oh, living on a prayer

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, for love

 

She says, we've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot

 

Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer

 

Tommy's got his six-string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
Baby, it's okay, someday

 

We've got to hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not


We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot

Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer

 

Oh, we've got to hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer


Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer

Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer


Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer

Woah, we're half way there
Woah, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Woah, livin' on a prayer
