Have Mercy

Capo 2 

D Dsus4 D (x4) 

(D)He was standin' on the corner  
A (G)hundred dollar bill in his (D)hand (Dsus4 D) 
Said I could feed a lot of these people with (G)this  
But that ain't the (D)business at hand(Dsus4 D) 
Ain't but one (A)reason for a white boy to be  
(G)Over on this side of (D)town (Dsus4 D) 
He gave that (A)money to the man and he  
(G)Bought a little mercy for (D)now (Dsus4 D) 

Chorus 
(D)Have mercy on (G)me  
Have mercy on (D)me(Dsus4 D) 
I'm a (A)sinner Lord can't you (G)see  
Have mercy on (D)me(Dsus4 D) 

(D)Old Joe don't know how it got started  
I (G)guess it was the fire in her (D)eyes (Dsus4 D)  
He loved his wife and children  
And he (G)wasn't into telling all (D)these lies(Dsus4 D) 
But she (A)gave herself so freely  
In that (G)room at the top of the (D)stairs (Dsus4 D) 
He'd (A)go to her in hopes he'd (G)find a little mercy (D)there (Dsus4 D) 
Chorus 

(A)Tears were made to fall  
Hearts made to (D)break  
(A)Sometimes it feels  
Like they just want to know  
How (G)much you can ta-(D)-ke  

D Dsus4 D (x2) 

(D)She was all alone that evening  
(G)What was she thinkin' (D)about (Dsus4 D) 
Her mind was made up and  
I (G)guess it was the (D)only way out(Dsus4 D) 
There's a (A)pistol in a pawn shop (G)window  
Made of cold, blue (D)steel (Dsus4 D) 
She (A)took it home to find out  
How (G)warm a little mercy could (D)feel (Dsus4 D) 
Chorus X2 

(A)God knows that mercy ain't (G)free  
Have mercy on (D)me (Dsus4 D)
