Chords for Mercy Now - Mary Gauthier

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My father could use a little [D] mercy now
The _ _ _ _ _
[Em] fruits of his labor
Falling right slowly [A] on the ground _ _ _ _ _ _
His work is almost over
It won't be long
He won't [D] be around
I _ _ _ _
[Em] _ love my father
[E] He could use some [A] mercy now _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My brother could _ use a little [D] mercy now _ _ _ _ _
[E] He's 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 will [D] allow
I _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ love my brother
[E] He could use some [A] mercy [D] now
[A] _ _ _ _ _
My church and my [Em] country
[A] _ Could use a little [D] mercy now
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _
[E] As they sank into a poison pit
It's gonna take forever [A] to 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] A [F#m] _ _ [B] _ [E] love life and life itself
Could use some [A] mercy now _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Love life _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
[D] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
and life itself

_ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ Yeah, _ _ _ _ _ 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
And _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] every single one of us
Could use some [A] mercy now _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] Every single [F#] 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 _ _ _
