Start Jamming...
The champion Aranjone have left us a little present here, a book.
Pickle about.
So what you have to imagine now is a Monte Aqua mare.
And it's the work of this amazing poet Anne Sexton that inspired this song which is called Mercy Street.
[C#m]
Mercy [F#m] Street.
Where you're inside out dreaming of mercy in your [Em]
daddy's arms [B] again, [C#m] dreaming of mercy [D#] street.
I swear they [Em] moved that sign looking for mercy in your [C#m] daddy's arms.
[N] [C#m]
[B] [C#m]
[F#] [B] [C#m]
[D#] [G#m] [C#m] Looking down on empty streets all she can see [A] are the dreams all made solid, [F#m] are the dreams made real.
[C#m] All of the buildings, all of the cars were [A] once just a dream [F#m] in somebody's [C#m] head.
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam.
[A] She pictures a soul [F#m] with no need at the [C#m] scene.
Just take a bottle, wait until darkness comes.
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey, [A] nowhere in the suburbs [F#m] in the cold light of day.
[C#m] There in the midst of it so alive and alone, [A] works a heart [B] like bone dreaming [A] of mercy [B] street.
[C#m] Where you're [A] inside out dreaming of [E]
mercy [A] in [B] [C#m] your daddy's arms [B] again, dreaming [A] of mercy [B] street.
I [C#m] swear they moved that [A] sign looking [E] for mercy [A] in [B] [C#m] your daddy's arms.
[B] [C#m]
[F#] [G#m] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
Pulling out the papers from drawers that slide smooth, [A] tugging at the darkness [F#m] word upon word.
[C#m] Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box to [A] the priest.
He's the doctor,
[F#m] he can handle the shocks.
[C#m] Dreaming of the tenderness, the tremble in the hips [A] of kissing
[B] Mary's lips.
Dreaming [C#m] of [A] mercy [B] street.
[C#m] Where you're inside [A] out looking [E] for mercy [A] in [B] [C#m] your daddy's arms [B] again, dreaming [A] of mercy [B] street.
I [C#m] swear they moved [A] that sign looking [E] for mercy [A] in [B] [C#m] your daddy's arms.
[A] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[A] [E] [C#m]
[F#] [C#m]
For mercy.
Looking for mercy.
Looking for mercy.
[B] Looking [C#m] for mercy.
[E] [C#m] Looking for mercy.
[B] Mercy.
[E] [C#m] Mercy.
Mercy.
[F#m] [C#m]
[G#m] [C#m]
I'm with the father, he's out in the boat.
[A] Riding the water.
[F#m] I'm riding the waves [C#m] on the sea.
