Chords for "Lord Have Mercy On The Working Man"... Travis Tritt @ Newton Theatre 2015

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you so much! _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank you so much, thank y'all for being here.
Welcome everybody!
_ Thank you for coming.
_ [G] I don't get a chance to do very many [Db] of these types of shows throughout the year.
What I [G] mean by these types of shows, for those of you who have seen me a lot before,
you probably recognize that _ _ there's people missing up here. _
_ [Ab] Anytime I get a chance to do a show where it's [Eb] just me and I guess I should [N] introduce the band to you for that.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Anytime I get a chance to do these kinds of shows, I always look forward to them because to me,
with just me and a guitar and you [E] folks out there in this beautiful theater,
[N] it doesn't feel like being in a show to me.
This is much more relaxed.
It's like being in my living room.
_ And I can go ahead and tell you, [Eb] there ain't [Bb] no telling what I'm about to do in my own living [N] room.
_ _ So thank you for coming.
I want to tell you what we're cheering for tonight.
I've [Bbm] got a whole bunch, and [E] I do mean a whole bunch, of really good music that I'm going to do for you folks [C] this evening.
I have to warn you ahead of time [N] that most of the songs you're going to hear from me tonight have been around for a while.
And _ _ _ [G] I hope some of you still remember those.
I'm going to do some newer things for you tonight.
And I hope that all of you came here tonight [Eb] to Newton, New Jersey for the same reason that I did,
because I came up here in the middle of [G] freezing-ass temperature. _
_ [E] See, I'm from the [Bb] South, man.
I'm not used to this.
_ For the last day and a [Eb] half, I've been brrrr like that.
But the reason I'm here, and I [N] hope the reason you're here, is because I came here to party with y'all tonight.
That's why I'm here.
_ _ _ So [G] anytime you feel like you have a single [F] wrong, you want to clap your hands, you want to stomp your feet,
I encourage you to do all of that.
[A] I want you to do it.
The [B] only rule that I have is [N] with regard to that singing along part. _
If you're going to sing, please sing good.
[E] And I'll try to do [Eb] the same.
Y'all have fun, everybody.
We're going to get high in the desert.
[A] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ All _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [G] around I hear the sound of [G] my room.
_ But I ain't [D] got in to my name.
_ Everywhere I go, [G] I see Townsend's show.
_ She's still on every call.
[D] Call my name.
Won't [C] you tell me if you can.
[G] Life's so hard to understand.
[D] Why's a rich man busy dancing?
[E] [G] While a poor black baby's dancing?
Who's your heroine?
I'm ready _ for you and me.
_ [D] Lord have mercy [G] on the [D] world and me.
[G] _ _
Sam's got his angels, and I'm not his.
_ He'll change the [D] world.
[G] He's a man.
There's politicians.
They treat me like in the show.
But they see me [A] shaking [G] and crying.
_ Tell me [C] if you can.
Life's so hard to understand.
Why's a rich [D] man busy dancing?
[G] While a poor black baby's dancing?
[C] Who's your heroine?
[G] I'm ready for you and me.
_ [D] Lord have mercy on the world and me.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Look out for him.
_ _ Ask this [D] little man about you and me.
There's a rich man and all.
[G] Lord, I'm ready.
_ _ Please help me [D] up, sir, cause I'm going down.
[C] Won't you tell me if you can.
[G] Life's so hard to understand.
Why's [D] a rich man busy dancing?
While a poor black baby's dancing?
Who's your heroine?
_ Forgive me, Lord.
[D] Lord have mercy on [G] the [D] world and me.
Won't [C] you tell me if you can.
[G] Life's so hard to understand.
[D] Why's a rich man busy dancing?
[G] While a poor black baby's dancing?
Who's [C] your heroine?
_ [G] _ Forgive me, [D] Lord.

_ [D] Please Lord have mercy on the world and me.
Please Lord have mercy on the [A] world and _ [G] me.
