_ _ _ father, _ _ _ _ he could use a little mercy now. _
_ _ _ _ The [B] fruits of his labor, _ _ falling right slowly on [E] the ground.
_ _ _ _ _ _ His work is almost over.
_ _ _ Won't be long, he won't be around. _ _ _
_ _ [B] I love my father, _ _ and he could use some mercy [E] now.
_ _ _ My brother, _ _ _ he could use a little mercy now.
_ _ _ _ _ He's a stranger to freedom, _ _ shackled to his fears and his doubts.
_ And the pain that he lives in _ is almost more than living will allow.
_ _ _ _ _ I love my brother, _ _ and he could use some mercy [E] now. _ _ _

_ [B] As they sink into a poison pit, _ it's gonna take forever to climb [E] out. _ _
They carry the weight of the faithful, _ as we follow them down. _

_ [B] We may not deserve it, [B]
we need it [E] anyhow.
We _ hang in the balance _ between hell and hallowed ground. _ _ _
_ And every [B] single one of us could use some mercy [E] now. _
_ [B] Yeah we all _ _ _ _ could use some mercy [E] now.
_ Would you like to sing it all, if you don't get over it?
