Mercy Now Chords by Mary Gauthier

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My father could _ use a little [D] mercy now
the _ _ _ _ _
[Em] fruits of his labor
Falling right slowly [A] on the [D] ground.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
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
_ _ _ _ He's [Em] 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 in my country
[E] _ [A] _ Could use a little mercy [D] now
As _ _ [F#m] _ _
[E] they sank into a poison pit
It's gonna take forever
[A] Climb
They _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[A] carry the weight of a faithful
Who follow [D] them [F#m] down?
_ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _
[E] I?
Love my church and country
They could use some mercy [A] now _ _ _ _ _ _
Every living thing could use a little mercy [D] 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 keep their [D] crown
[G#] _ _
[D] _ [F#m] _ [B] _ [E] Love life and life itself could you some [A] mercy man? _ _

_ _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _ Yeah, _ _ _ _ _ we all
Could you a little [D] mercy now? _ _ _
_ _ [E] I know we don't deserve it
We need [A] it anyhow
We _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] _ [A] hang in the balance _
Dangle to inhale and [D] hallowed ground _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [E] And every single one of us could use some [A] mercy now _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Every single [F#] one of us [D] could use some [A] Now
_ Every _
_ [E] _ [A] _ [E] _ single [F#] one of us [D] could use
some mercy [A] now _ _ _
