Tender Mercies Eliza Gilkyson
INTRO: C
Across the [Am]world she tapes ex[G]plosives to her [F]chest[C]

CHORUS:
Tender mercies,[C] tender [F]mercies[Am]
[G]Come before des[F]pair
Shine down all your[C] tender [F]mercies[Am]
It's [G]every mother's [C]prayer
Down below the [Am]factory, a[G]long the river[F]side
[C]Children swimming [G]in a poison [F]pool
[C]Playful after[Am]noon of unin[G]tended sui[F]cide
[C]Gone before they [G]ever [C]really [F]knew[C] [F]
CHORUS:
Tender mercies,[C] tender [F]mercies[Am]

It's [G]every mother's [C]prayer
INSTRUMENTAL: C F Dm C G F C
Across the [Am]world she holds her [G]loved ones to her [F]chest
[C]Lays them down and [G]listens at the [F]door
[C]Everybody [Am]safe and warm a[G]mong the truly [F]blessed
How [C]can we even [G]dare to ask for [C]more[F]
CHORUS:
Tender mercies,[C] tender [F]mercies[Am]
[G]Come before des[F]pair
Shine down all your[C] tender [F]mercies[Am]

It's [G]every mother's [C]prayer
