Mercy Street Chords by Peter Gabriel

[D#m] _ _ _ _ Looking down on city streets, watching it dance, the dreams we made inside, the dreams [G#m] we made [D#m] real.
All of the buildings here in the island's clubs, [B] were once just a dream [G#m] in a soundless air.
[D#m] The fumes of the broken glass, the fumes of the sea, _ [B]
the fumes of the soul that we are, the fumes of the soul [F#] that is lonely, the [D#m] dust of me, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ standing alone now, _ alone, playing [G#m] in the [D#m] rain, _ _ _ no words, _ _ _ _ _
[F#] [B] no words to, _ no words to, [G#m] to lie today.
[D#m] _ There in the midst of it all, _ _ [B] she finds her one.
[G#m] She's loving and kind.
_ [D#m] _
There in the midst of it all, _ _ _ _ [B] she finds her one.
_ Walking in [G#m] the [C#] light of dawn, [B] dreaming of mercy.
[C#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [D#m] _ _
[F] _ [D#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ Walking _ _ _ _ in [B] _ the light of [A#m] _
[D#] dawn, _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] dreaming _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ of mercy.
[D#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and green [B] leaves,
Nowhere in the [F#] sands [G#m] of cold [D#m] light.
_ There in the midst of it all, alive and unknown,
[B] _ Once upon a [C#] time, _ dreaming [D#m] of [B] mercy.
[C#] _ _ _
[D#] When you're [B] inside out, [F#] dreaming of mercy.
[B] _ _ [C#] When [D#m] you open these [C#] eyes again, dreaming [D#m] of [B] mercy.
_ [C#] _ _ _ [D#] When [D#m] they move [B] inside, _ dreaming [F#] of mercy.
[B]
In [C#] _ [D#m] your mommy's arms, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] dreaming [C#m] of [A] mercy.
[B] Scream, _ _ [C#m] swear they remove that [A]
sign, [E] dreaming of mercy.
_ [A] _
_ [Bm] In [C#m] your daddy's arms. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [F#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Pulling out the papers, draws the slides to the [A] advertising _ [F#m] wall.
_ _ [C#m] Pressing all the secret things into a velvet box.
_ [A] He's the doctor, [F#m] and I'm the nurse.
_ [C#m] Dreaming of the tenderness that tremble in the hips of [A] kissing _ [B] marys.
_ Dreaming [E] of [A] mercy.
_ [B] _
_ _ [C#m] When you're inside [A] out, _ [E] homeless.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] [C#m] In your daddy's arms [B]
again, dreaming [C#m] of mercy.
_ [B] _
When _ [C#m] they [A] move inside, dreaming of [E] _ mercy.
_ [A] _
_ [E] In [C#m] your daddy's arms.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ When _ [A] _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ they _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [C#m] move _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _
inside, _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] dreaming [C#m] of mercy.
When your father is out in [E] the books, [A] _ writing the [E] wolf _ [F#m] in the waves.
