Chords for Edwin McCain - Mercy Bound (Bing Lounge)

_ _ _ You [D] _ a new [A] Mercy Bound?
Yeah.
[E] _ _ We've never played this song _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
acoustically together like this.
_ [G] _ _
I want to play the Earth, Wind & Fire song, [C] but you know, nah.
[E] What's your bass player's name?
This is Jason Pomar.
Great job, Jason.
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ Jason's an amazing songwriter in his own right.
He was in a band called Son Domingo, was the principal songwriter for Son Domingo,
and I was kind of like a teenage girl about that band.
_ So we needed a bass player, so we were using him off and on,
and then it became [E] on, which is awesome for me. _
_ Then I quit Chippendales and came out full-time. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ If [B] _ _
_ _ I can tune this thing, we'll play Mercy Bound.
We'll go to _ [E] _ San Francisco Bound. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ Wait, you know what?
I've got to tune this thing.
String, string, string.
I was like, you know what, that string's going to just make me crazy.
_ _ And I wanted you to go like that, just as you're about to start.
With [E] the reverb?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I really, _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
I may do that again to you just because that [B] was fun. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ Okay, one, two. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ And [B] _ _ _ from our city and our street
Out where the wind is the cold [F#] concrete
And _
[B] oh, _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
it's cold [A] _ _ _ [E] _
[A] outside
And [E] darkness [B] your _ _ enemy
[E] _ _ No place _ to _ [A] hide
[E] A voice said this [B] to me
_ _ _ [E] In your doorways I have shivered
In your alleys I have gone [B] to ground _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] I will be delivered
[B] Someday we'll all be mercy [E] _
bound _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] I dreamed again it was West L.A.
[B] On a crowded street on a hot summer [F#] day _
_ She was [B] alone
And [E]
three months later beginning to [B] show
In a mid-drip blouse she would soon [F#] outgrow
She had no one to call and [B] no way home
_ _ [E] _ _
But in _ _ my mind
_ I knew [B] I'd seen _ myself
_ [A] _ _ [E] Yet in _ my blindness _ _
Always seems [F#] like someone else
_ _ _ _ [E] And there I was a rag upon a remnant
And you're lost and [B] _ _ found _ _ _ _
_ [F#] I was for once truly alone _
[B] Longing to be mercy [E] _ bound
_ And _ _ _ _ [C] I knew that I'd rise a child
In the forest [D] till they found _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] And I called out to them but I could not penetrate
The silence [Em] all [E] around _ me _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E]
And when _ _ [E] I wake _
[A] I _ [E] know [B] you'll comfort _ _ [A] me
_ [E] And I [A] _ _ [E] won't sleep [A] again _
For an [B] _ _ [F#] eternity _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] For others lie awake at night
In desperation more [B] _ _ profound
_ _ In _ _ the calming of the morning light
Will not see them [E] mercy _ bound
_ And _ _ _ _
[A] _ some will [E] never dream again
_ _ [F#] _ [F#m] Sleeping _ [B] on the _ ground
_ [F#] Just longing to be alone
[B] _ Dying to be mercy _ _ bound
[A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] Please don't stop your dreaming
[B] _ Someday [G#m] we'll all be mercy [E]
bound _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
Someday mercy _ [E] bound _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] Thank you for having me here.
Thank you.
Keep it going, Edwin McCain!
