Brilliant Song By Steve Earle
[Intro]
D Dsus4 D (x4)
[Verse 1]
D He was standin' on the corner G D Dsus4 D A hundred dollar bill in his hand G Said I could feed a lot of these people with this D Dsus4 D But that ain't the business at hand A Ain't but one reason for a white boy to be G D Dsus4 D Over on this side of town A He gave that money to the man and he G D Dsus4 D Bought a little mercy for now
[Chorus]
D G Have mercy on me D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me A G I'm a sinner Lord can't you see D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me
[Verse2]
D Old Joe don't know how it got started G D Dsus4 D I guess it was the fire in her eyes
He loved his wife and children
G D Dsus4 D And he wasn't into telling all these lies A But she gave herself so freely G D Dsus4 D In that room at the top of the stairs A G D Dsus4 D He'd go to her in hopes he'd find a little mercy there
[Chorus]
D G Have mercy on me D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me A G I'm a sinner Lord can't you see D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me
[Bridge]
A Tears were made to fall D Hearts made to break A Sometimes it feels
Like they just want to know
G D How much you can take
D Dsus4 D (x2)
[Verse3]
D She was all alone that evening G D Dsus4 D What was she thinkin' about
Her mind was made up and
G D Dsus4 D I guess it was the only way out A G There's a pistol in a pawn shop window D Dsus4 D Made of cold, blue steel A She took it home to find out G D Dsus4 D How warm a little mercy could feel
[Chorus X2]
D G Have mercy on me D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me A G I'm a sinner Lord can't you see D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me D G Have mercy on me D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me A G I'm a sinner Lord can't you see D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me
[Outro]
A G God knows that mercy ain't free D Dsus4 D Have mercy on me
