A                                  D
My father could use a little mercy now
E
The fruits of his labor       
                           A  Asus4  A                                             
Fall and rot slowly on the ground

His work is almost over
                                   D
It won’t be long and he won’t be around
  E                                           A  Asus4  A 
I love my father, and he could use some mercy now

                                    D
My brother could use a little mercy now
        E
He’s a stranger to freedom
                               A
He’s shackled to his fears and doubts

The pain that he lives in is
                               D
Almost more than living will allow
  E                                            A
I love my brother, and he could use some mercy now

                                                  D
My Church and my Country could use a little mercy now
        E
As they sink into a poisoned pit
                                      A
That’s going to take forever to climb out

They carry the weight of the faithful
               D
Who follow ‘em down
   E                                                       A Asus4  A 
I love my Church and Country and they could use some mercy now

A                                           D
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
               
Only the hand of grace can end the race
                         A  Asus4  A
Towards another mushroom cloud

People in power, well
                                  D
They’ll do anything to keep their crown
 E                                                A  Asus4  A
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now

A  D  E  A Asus4 A  D  E  A

A                             D
Yea, we all could use a little mercy now
 E
I know we don’t deserve it
                  A
But we need it anyhow

We hang in the balance
                                D
Dangle ‘tween hell and hallowed ground
E                                                A
And every single one of us could use some mercy now
E                                            A
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
E                            D               A 
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
