Chords

The whole song is the chord progression F#-E-A-D. Depending on which version you play (Mercury & Lightning or Mercury Session) determines how you play it. This leaves a lot of room for improv. ENJOY! [Verse 1]
                 F#   E
I've been chasing God

                  A           D
I've been chasing mercury and lightning

                       F#     E
And I've been pressing hard

          A              D
I've been coming up short

F#           E
Lately, I've been thinking about

A                        D
What's gonna happen with you and I

         F#            E
I need a new religion

                 A   D
Or I need a new lie
F# E A D [Verse 2]
                 F#   E
I've been on the phone

                  A            D
I've been chasing mercury and lightning

                 F#             E
Pressing for the deal to close

          A                F#
I've been coming up short

             E
Lately, I've been thinking about

 A                  D
What's going on between you and I

         F#           E
I need a true religion

               A    D
Or I need a new lie
[Chorus]
F#
   I swear I've heard the echoes of a voice

D
   Like a dream that you feel, but you don't remember

F#
   I've known it ever since I was a boy

D
   Like a word on the tip of my tongue
F# E A D (x2)
F#
   I swear I've heard the echoes of a voice

D
   Like a dream that you feel, but you don't remember

F#
   I've known it ever since I was a boy

D
   Like a word on the tip of my tongue
[Instrumental] F# E A D [Outro]
F#          E
  Lately, I've been thinking about

A                  D
What's gonna happen with you and I

         F#          E
I need a new religion

                  A       D      F#
Or I need a new lie
