Mercy Now Mary Gauthier
[Intro]
[A] [A] [A] [A] [A] [A]
[Verse 1]
[A]My father could use a little mercy [D]now[D]
The [F#]fruits[E] of his labor fall and rot slo[A]wly on the ground[A]
[A]His work is almost over it won't be long, he won't be [D]around[D]
I l[E]ove my f[Em]ather, [E] he could [Em]use some mercy [A]now[A]
[Verse 2]
[A]My brother could use a little mercy [D]now
He's a str[E]anger to f[Em]reedom, he's shackled to his [E]fear and his [A]doubt[A]
[A]The pain that he lives in it's almost more than living will al[D]low[D]
I [E]love my bother, he could use some mercy [A]now[A]
[Verse 3]
[A]My church and my country could use a little mercy [D]now[D]
As they [E]sink into a poisoned pit it's going to take forever to climb [A]out[A]
[A]They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them [D]down[D]
[E]I love my church and country, they could [Em]use some mercy [A]now[A]
[Verse 4]
[A]Every living thing could use a little mercy [D]now[D]
[E]Only the hand of grace can end the race towards another mushroom [A]cloud[A]
[A]People in power, they'll do anything to keep their c[D]rown[D]
[E]I love life and life itself could use some mercy [A]now[A]

[Verse 5]
[A]Yeah, we all could use a little mercy [D]now[D]
I k[E]now we don't deserve it but we need it any[Am]how[A]
[A]We hang in the balance dangle 'tween hell and hallowed g[D]round[D]
[E]And every single one of us could use some mercy [Am]now[A]
[Outro]
[E]Every single one of us could [D]use some mercy [A]now[A]
[E]Every single one of us could [D]use some mercy [A]now[A]
