Chords

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#
e|-0--0---4---x---x----2|
B|-0--0---5---4---4----2|
G|-8--6---6---5---6----3|
D|-9--7---6---6---x----4|
A|-9--7---4---3---2----4|
E|-7--5---x---x---x----2|
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   
e|-0-----0----                   -12-|
B|-0-----0----                   -10-|
G|-x-----x----                   --9-|
D|-9-----9h11-  with a variation:-11-|
A|-9h11--11---                   --x-|
E|-0-----0----                   --x-|
HER MERCY by Glen Hansard [Verse 1]
            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
[Verse 2]
             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
[Verse 3]
         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
[Verse 4]
              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
[Chorus]
       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
Mercy, me---rcy
