Mercy Of The Fallen Chords by Dar Williams

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] my fair _ North [E] Star, I [F#m] have held to [D] you dearly.
[A] I had asked you [D] to steer me to [A] one cloud _ -scattered [E] night.
_ I got [A] lost in [E] my _ travels.
I'm [F#m] a Leo or [D] a Lion, [A] met a King and met a [D] Giant with [A] their _ _ [E] rarest might. _ _ _ _
There's [F#m] the wind and the [C#m]
rain and [D] the mercy of the fallen
who [A] say they have no [E] claim to know [F#m] what's right. _ _
[D] _ _ There's [A] the weak and the [E] strong and the [F#m] vets that [D] have no answer
and [A] that's where I may [E] rest my head [F#m] tonight.
I _ [D] _ _ _ [A] saw the [E] bright people in [F#m] imposing flocks they [D] landed
and [A] they got what they [D] demanded and [A] they scratched at [E] the ground.
Then [A] they flew and [E] the field _ [F#m] grew as sweet before [D] the violence
who [A] had _ _ [D] longed, yet despite this, they [A] could hear _ [E] every sound. _ _ _ _
There's [F#m] the wind and [C#m] the rain and [D] the mercy _ of the fallen
who [A] say they have [E] no claim to know [F#m] what's right.

_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
If [A] your sister or your [E]
brother [F#m] were a-stumbling on their [D] last mile
[A] in a self [D]-inflicted exile, you'd wish [A] for them a humble [E]
friend.
And [A] I hope _ _ [E] someday _ [F#m] they're the best false test [D]
planners.
[A] Give me seven half-billed [D]
manners.
[A] Perhaps _ dreams [E] may dream [F#m] without end.
_ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ There's [F#m] the wind and [C#m] the rain and [D] the mercy of the fallen
who [A] say, hey, he's on [E] my face but know [F#m] what's right.
_ _ [D] _ _ There's [A] the weak and [E] the strong and [F#m] the many stars [D] that guide us.
We [A] have some of them [D] inside us.
