Chords for Dresden Dolls - Mercy Seat (Nick Cave) (Live in Sydney) | Moshcam

_ _ _ _ We're going to um _ _ _ _
_ _ We're gonna play you a song [Em] now. _ _ _ _
We're not gonna tell you about a [E] girl _ _
_ _ _ _ We're gonna play you a song by _ _
[Em] one of our
_ [E]
collective
_ one of our favorite musicians ever and
this musician
_ [Em] Just happens to be an Australian
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ We've always wanted to play one of his songs.
It's been really really really really really hard to pick one
_ so _
_ _ We're going for broke
[Em] _

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [Em] I began [Bm] to warm and [Em] chill
small objects in their fields
ragged copper twisted lock
the face of Jesus in glasses _
those sinister dinner deals
_ Meal trolleys wicked wheels a hooked bone rising from my food
Oh things that are good and good and the mercy speed of the [B] waiting
And I think [Em] my head is burning
[E] And in a way I'm yearning to be [D] done with all this twisting of the truth
[Dm] And I've put an eye and a tooth for [F] tooth and anyway, I [C] told the truth
And I'm not [Em] afraid to die
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
In the separate sides and cattle of a blackened Jesus
Scarlet on the walls of a baddest blackest
They are the secret
in my hand
They are the [B] secret in my [Em] hand
They are the secret in my hand
They are [B] the secret [Em] gathering
in my [B] _ _ [Em] hand
I hear stories from the [E] chamber
How Christ was born
into a manger
And like a ragged stranger [D] died upon the cross
And might I [Dm] say it seems so fitting in [F] its ways
It was a carpenter [C] by trade
Or at least I thought [Em]
so _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
My fear [B] lashed and soon evil [Em] across its brothers [B] fenced _
_ That filled the five and they [Em] did nothing to resist
The truth in heaven is thrown
It's paved with [E] gold
And the ark of his testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
[D] All history does unfold
Down here [Dm] it's made of wood and wire
_ [F] Body is on fire
_ [C] And God is never [Em] far away
Into the mercy seat I [E] climb
My head is shaved
My head is wild
And like a moth that tries [D] to enter the bright eye
So I go [Dm] shuffling out of light
Just [F] to hide in the meanwhile
I _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ killed him, tattooed evil
Was a wedding band that's good
Tis a long suffering shackle
Calling all the
_ [B] _ _ [Em] And the mercy seat is [E] waiting
And I think my head is [E] burdened
And in a way I'm yearning
To be [D] done with all this Fettering of
[Dm]
And I pour an eye
And a truth [F] for truth
And anyway there was [C] no
And I'm not afraid [Em] to die
And the mercy seat is [E] waiting
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To [D] be done with all this Longsuffering [Dm] desperately
And I pour an eye
And a [F] truth for truth
And anyway there was [C] no
_ And I'm not [Em] afraid to die
And the mercy seat is [E] waiting
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To [D] be done with all this
Tristin of the
[Dm] And I pour an eye
And a truth [F] for truth
And I've got nothing left [C] to lose
And I'm not afraid [Em] to die
And the mercy seat is [B] waiting
And I think my head is melting
[E]
And in a way I'm hoping
To be [D] done with all this
Tristin of the
And I pour an eye
And a truth [F] for truth
And anyway I'm so [C] desperate
And I'm afraid of your [E] delight
