Mercy Now Chords by Mary Gauthier

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My father could use a little mercy [D] now
the _ _ _ _ _
[Em] fruits of his labor
Falling right slowly [A] on the ground
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
His work is almost over
It won't be long
He won't be [D] around I _ _ _ _
[Em] love my father
[E] He could use some mercy [A] now _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My brother
Could use a little [D] mercy now
_ _ _ _ _ He's [Em] a stranger to freedom
He's shackled to his fear and [A] his doubt _ _ _ _ _
The pain that he lives in
It's almost more than living well [D] _ allowed _ _ _ _
[Em] I love my brother
[E] He could use some [A] mercy [D] now
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
My church and my [E] country
[A] _ Could use a little [D] mercy [F#m] now
_ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ As [E] they sank into a poison pit
It's gonna take forever to [A] climb
They _ _ _ _ _ _ carry the weight of the faithful
Who follow [D] them [F#m] down?
_ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _
[E] I
love my church and country
They could use some [A] mercy now _ _ _ _ _ _
Every living thing
Could use a little [D] mercy now
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _
[E] Only the hand of grace
Can end the race
_ towards another [A] mushroom cloud _ _
_ _ _ _ people in power
They'll do anything to [D] keep their crown
_ [G#] _
[D] _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ [E] I love life and life itself
Could use some [A] mercy now _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
[D] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ we all
Could use a little [D] mercy now
I _ _ _ _ [E] know we don't deserve it
_ But we need [A] it anyhow
We _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [A] hang in the balance
_ Dangled between hell and [D] hallowed ground _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] And every single one of us could use some [A] mercy now _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] Every single one of [D] us could use some [A] mercy now _ _
_ _ [E] _ [A] _ [E] Every single one of [D] us could use
some mercy [A] now _ _
