Mercy

 

I have more than a clue about where mercy lies.  E

If I tell you would you ruin it?      E

You could never ruin the mercy I live by though    E

The coming of mercy is a male thing    E

 

B:

Can all girls say, “Aie” when they want mercy before they die         A  E

Could you clap and stamp? Keep your shirt on      A  E

Mercy made rhythm, Mercy made love, Aaaaaaaaahooh       B7  A

Mercy made this dove         E

 

Chorus:

Aaaaaaaaaah, mercy, mercy from the blood          D  A   E

Aaaaaaaaaah, mercy in the neighbourhood           D  A  E

Aaaaaaaaaaah, mercy, can you come again!          D  A  E

While Iiiiiiiiiii am certain I will ruin it again              D  A  E

………………………            I can’t be a man without you.

 

Does not come suddenly, but after ample work    E

Seventeen peaches, apple tree and whiskey bar   E

Still comes as a surprise as if you were a kid          E

Mercy as I dreamed it and much more than that  E

Part B + Chorus

 

We live in your blood, mercy statues you      E

All became real, the preacher of the weak    E

Everything for free when you let your dollars roll E

There is only one who got soul    E

 

Part B + Chorus (I will ruin it again)

 

-little guitar solo-        E  D  A  E

 

Chorus (I cannot be a man without you)

 

Repeat 4x:

I cannot be a man without you.   A  E
