Chords for Mercy, Mercy, Mercy

You know, I think piano players have a funny feeling about tunes anyhow.
They seem to get into tunes when they're just jiving around a little better than most of us.
Some of us, you know, we say, well, we got to write a song.
So we have to think, think, think, think, think.
And the song is still terrible.
[Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] Well, sometimes, _
[Bb] sometimes it's easy [Eb] for piano players, especially ones who have problems.
[Bb] Like the piano player who wrote this one had a very serious [Eb] problem.
And he was [Bb] wondering, how could he solve this serious problem?
And it makes a lot of sense.
[Eb] In fact, the problem was more than serious.
It's what you call [Bb] a profound [Eb] problem, [Bb] you know.
Well, I said to him after the question that the best way to solve a profound problem
is to go to a profound source, like a small loan company, you know.
_ [F] But actually, you know, seriously, [Bb] it was impossible to do it that way.
There's only one way [Eb] to really get [F] to that kind of problem, the answer.
[C] You have to speak to him about it.
And you have to speak [Dm] to him legitimately in his own language and ask him [Gm] for mercy, mercy, [Gm] mercy.

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] know, ladies and gentlemen, _ [F] _ [G] we are stuck with, we [Eb] are stuck with a very exacting management [Gm] here.
And I told them when they told us that we only [G] had these few minutes,
that we would only get warmed up in time to go.
They said, no, you've got to go by then.
[F] So please understand that we'd like to stay here and play the whole thing
and then listen to Lou [Bb] Rawls and Emerson ourselves.
But that's the way it is.
Joe Zawinul at the piano,
