This one is pretty much a piano piece, so there's not all that much here. I've gotten pretty stuck on Reconsider Baby, so this may be it for a while...

{"riff - &" means play the riff from the start until the line of ampersands} [E] Lord have mercy, [A] Lord have mercy on me. [E] [E] Lord have [A] mercy, Lord have mercy on me. [E] [riff - &] Well if I've [B] done somebody wrong, [A] Lord, have mercy [E] if you please. [riff] [E] I used to have plenty of money, [A] the finest clothes in town, [E] But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down. Please have [A] mercy, Lord have mercy on me. [E] [riff - &] Well if I've [B] done somebody wrong, [A] Lord, have mercy [E] if you please. [riff] [E] [A] Keep on working now, child. [E] [A] Lord every morning. Solo on [A] [E] [B] [A] [E]

{The solo starts out:
(e) |------------------------------------|
(B) |----8-10-11-----8-10-11-----8-10-11-|
(G) |--9-----------9-----------9---------|
After that, it turns into a flurry of notes, which is really hard to tab
out, and I didn't find it quite compelling enough to spend all the time.}

[E] Well if I've been a bad boy, baby, [A] I declare I'll change my ways. [E] I don't want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days. Please have [A] mercy, Lord have mercy on me. [E] [riff - &] Well if I've [B] done somebody wrong, [A] Lord, have mercy [E] if you please. *************************************************************************** * Brian Davies ([email protected]) * There are three kinds of lies: * * Ph: (708)-467-1969 / (708)-733-9544 * Lies, damned lies, and release * * Institute For The Learning Sciences * dates. * * 1890 Maple Ave, Evanston, IL, 60201 * - guess who * ***************************************************************************
