Her Mercy

• B

The chords and lyrics to "Her Mercy" by Glen Hansard.
Based on the December 2013 Letterman performance featuring Moji.

The main parts of the song are E, B, E, A - E, B, A, E with a different set of chords in the bridge.

   B* A* C#m G#/C Cdim F#

And the E chord is pretty much the same as Glen does it in Low Rising with the hammer-ons and all.
The main hammer-ons and way to play the E in this song, I think:

   E

HER MERCY
by Glen Hansard


            E                    B*
When you're kneeling through the hours
            E                  A*
And you're doubting your given powers
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


             E                  B*
When you're sneaking round the back door
           E               A*
and she's waiting for you no more
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


         E                 B*
When the birds tuning up still
         E                   A*
And the dawn breaks on your window sill
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


BRIDGE
        C#m              G#/C
It will come when you're broken
          Cdim             F#
When your heart is finally open
            C#m            G#/C
When you're down, down and troubled
            Cdim           F#
When you're lost among the rubble


              E            B*
Well there's sugar on the old spoon
              E                   
Let's do that old dance 
            A*
around your front room
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


       E
Mercy, mercy
      B*
Coming to you
          E
Feel her beauty
        A*
Flowing through you
           E
She will unbind you
        B*
Set the world free
       A*     E


Chords continue until end.

========================================

That's it. The exact chord variations (and their names) may not be 100% true,
but they are really close most of the time, at least. It sounds great when I play it myself. 

Props and everything to Glen Hansard for making awesome music.

Have fun!
