Eliza Gilkyson – Tender Mercies (Guitar)

           Am                G               F      C
Across the world she tapes explosives to her chest

        G             F      C
Steps into a shopping mall

         Am             G             F     
A life devoid of all of mercy's tenderness

C            G   C       F    C  F
Really isn't any life at all

               C       F       Am
Tender mercies, tender mercies

G              F
Come before despair

                   C       F       Am
Shine down all your tender mercies

     G              C
It's every mother's prayer

               Am        G             F      
Down below the factory, along the riverside

C                 G           F      
Children swimming in a poison pool

C            Am          G         F     
Playful afternoon of unintended suicide

C                G    C      F    C  F
Gone before they ever really knew

               C       F       Am
Tender mercies, tender mercies

G              F
Come before despair

                   C       F       Am
Shine down all your tender mercies

     G              C
It's every mother's prayer

           Am                  G                 F      
Across the world she holds her loved ones to her chest

C                  G              F      
Lays them down and listens at the door

C         Am             G              F     
Everybody safe and warm among the truly blessed

    C           G               C      F   
How can we even dare to ask for more

               C       F       Am
Tender mercies, tender mercies

G              F
Come before despair

                   C       F       Am
Shine down all your tender mercies

     G              F
It's every mother's prayer

                   C       F       Am
Shine down all your tender mercies

     G              C
It's every mother's prayer
