[F] _ _ I [Bb] stood in the [C] _ water, [Fm] _ the middle [C] of the winter. _
[Fm] _ _ My camel [C] skin was _ [Bbm] tortured.
_ I [Ab] was in a [F] state of _ nature.
_ [G] [C] The [Fm] windside was wicked, _ [C] _ _ and I [F] was so alone.
[C] _ And just [Bbm] as I predicted [Ab] my fall, _
[Fm] I _ _ _ _ _ cried _ _ _ _ mercy.
[Db] Have _ mercy _ _ _ _
[Eb] on me.
And I got down [F] on _ _ _ _ my knees, crying _ [Fm] _ _ _ mercy. _
_ [Db] _ Have mercy on _
[Eb] _ _ me.
And I got down [F] on my knees, [Fm] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Fm] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ thrown [C] into a dungeon.
[Fm] _ [C] Red-hot water was my portion, _
[Fm] _ and faith [C] my only _ [G] weapon.
_ _ [Ab] To rest the _
[Fm] [F] devil's _ _ [C] legion, the speaker [F] would slide open.
[C] _ _ A [Fm] baptist's voice would plead.
[C] _ A voice that [Bbm] could in you and no [Ab] _ _ syphilis [Fm] agree.
_ _ _ _ And she [F] cried mercy.
[Fm] _ _ _
[Db] Have mercy _ on _ _
[Eb] me.
I told her to get [Ab] [Ebm] down on [F] her knees, _ _ _ crying _ mercy.
_ _ [Fm] _ I [Db] have mercy _ upon _ _ [Eb]
me.
I told her to get down [F] on her _ [Fm] knees. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ In a garden [C] full of roses, _ [Fm] _ my hands [C] were tied behind [Fm] me.
My cause was [C] like a miracle.
_ [Bbm] _ I [Ab] wonder if it would [F] find me. _
[C] _ A moon [Fm] had based toward me, [C] _ like a platinum [F] made of gold.
[C] _ My death [Bbm] had almost bought me, [Ab] so I fell and was [F] dead and old. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And I [Fm] cried _ mercy. _
_ _ [Db] Have mercy _ on me.
[Eb] _ _ I dropped down to [Fm] my knees, _ _ and I cried _ mercy. _ _
_ [Db] Have mercy on me.
[Eb] _ _ _ And they pushed me [Ebm] [Fm] to my knees. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Mercy. _ _ _
[Db] Have mercy. _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ And I dropped [Ebm] down [Fm] on my knees, _ _ and I cried mercy.
_ _ _ Yeah, [Db] _ mercy.
_ Mercy.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ And I dropped down [Fm] on my knees, and _ _ I cried mercy.
