Mercy Of The Fallen

• G

Capo II

       G          D
Oh my fair North Star 
       Em            C
I have held to you dearly 
       G            C
I had asked you to steer me 
         G                D
'Til one cloud-scattered night 
       G           D
I got lost in my travels  
      Em       C
I met Leo the lion 
       G                C
Met a king and met a giant 
            G       D      D7
With their errant light 
 
             Em           Bm
There's the wind and the rain 
          C   
And the mercy of the fallen 
         G            D                   Em    C
Who say they have no claim to know what's right 

             G              D
There's the weak and the strong
         Em               C
And the beds that have no answer 
            G           D            Em     C
And that's where I may rest my head tonight

       G              D
I saw all the bright people 
    Em                   C
In imposing flocks they landed 
         G               C
And they got what they demanded 
          G                 D
And they scratched at the ground 

          G             D
Then they flew and the fear 
         Em               C
Grew as sweetly for the flightless
         G              C
Who had longing yet despite this 
           G           D     D7
Who could hear every sound


             Em           Bm
There's the wind and the rain 
          C   
And the mercy of the fallen 
         G            D                   Em    C
Who say they have no claim to know what's right 


G D 
Em C 
G D Em C

             G               D
And if your sister or your brother 
       Em                C
Were stumbling on their last mile 
      G             C
In a self-inflicted exile 
                 G             D
You'd wish for them a humble friend 

       G        D
And I hope someday
         Em                    C 
That the best of Falstaff's planners 
         G                 C
Give me seven half-built manors 
       G               D            Em   D
Where half dreams may dream without end


             Em           Bm
There's the wind and the rain 
          C   
And the mercy of the fallen 
         G            D                   Em      C
Who say Hey, it's not my place to know what's right 

             G              D
There's the weak and the strong
         Em                 C
And the many stars that guide us 
          G             C         G  D  G
We have some of them inside us
