Lord Have Mercy On My Soul - Back Oak Arkansas Chords

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F#] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ Now there's something [E] I'd like to talk to you about at [B] this particular [G] moment, _ and [D] that's
about the one thing that we won't be [A] able to do together _ [E] unless we all become as [G] one.
_ [D] And if we all become as one, then we can walk [A] through it together. _
Now I [E] ain't walked through
it all the way yet, but [G] there was a time I walked [D] into it and I had to go into it alone.
_ [A] That's this place called the [E] Halls of Karma.
_ _ Now when [G] you go into the [D] Halls of Karma the
way I did, I don't know, it might have been a [A] hallucination, but I [E] think it was real.
_ See [G] I felt the presence [D] of the two energies, positive and the negative, [A] or God and the
devil, _
[E] however you want it.
_ [G] And they was pulling and [D] deciding and wondering what to do with
my soul.
[A] _
_ [E] Now I couldn't take this at this moment because I had to come back to be [G] with
you people, [D] to do a thing.
And I proved to them in [A] bargaining with them that I had a
thing to [E] do for the good of all of us.
_ [G] _
Out of this bargain the devil, [D] he got my body
for [A] the good in his needs [E] while I'm here on earth.
[G] And the Lord, he's got [D] my mind for
the good of the universe [A] and for the good of man.
[E] And they both, they [A] got me [G] in between
because they both [D] got my soul.
So the next time [A] I come up, I want the Lord [E] to please
have mercy [G] on [D] my soul. _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've said both all through my life, I've respected and reflected them both.
In the sympathy of God as he looked in my life, the excitement of the devil had _ evolved.
[A] So Lord have mercy, _ _ _
[D] Lord _ have [Bm] mercy for [E] my _ soul.
_ Come on, Mark.
The _ _ devil _ _ _ _ _ said, scratch my back and I'll scratch your back for sure.
_ But you have done all these sins for him.
My heart could not be pure.
_ I found out what means more to me than anything on this earth.
You be ready for my judgment day, ready to face the truth.
_ _ [D] So Lord [Am] have mercy, _ [D] _ Lord _ have mercy on my [E] _ _
soul.
_ Oh my soul, my soul, my soul, my [A] soul. _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I hope I've done the right things for both your sake and mine.
_ I'm reaching for a higher level.
I only fear it's the end of time.
_ I want it to the cross because it's both my maker and his host.
It's said your life must become peace or my cause will be lost.
[F#] So [D] Lord have mercy, _ _ _ _ Lord have [Am]
mercy on [E] my soul. _ _ _
Oh my soul, _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Lord have mercy.
_ _ _ _ Lord have mercy [A] on [E] my _ _ soul.
Oh my soul, my soul, my [A] _ soul. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
Lord _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ have mercy on [E] my _ _ soul. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Because I walk through the halls of karma.
I took hands with both the devil and God.
Yes, they turn my eyes to the inside to see where my energies are called.
Yes, I've gone with all through my life.
I've respected and reflected them both.
Yes, the sympathy of God as he looked at my life. _ _ _ _ _ _
