[Intro]
E C#m A E E B A E
[Verse]
E B
I was walking down Main Street just the other day
C#m A
Thinking about Brian Jones and the final getaway
E B
A man with a collar comes to see me
C#m A E B
Saying son why do you greet me this way? What did I say?
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Everybody needs mercy and a little touch of God
F#m B
I was looking for mercy and the strength to live on
[Verse]
E B
You know these nurses are blue and the sky's turning black
C#m A
And I can't seem to get up off of my back
E B
And I hear this voice that keeps calling
C#m A E B
And I'm trying hard to stop falling his way - but that's OK
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Well everybody needs mercy and a little touch of God
F#m B A
I am looking for mercy and the strength to live on and on and on and
G#m F#m E
on and on and on and on and on and on
[Bridge]
G#m A
You tell me whose going to tell those kids
G#m A
Whose gonna talk about the things we did
G#m A
An who is gonna be there to turn them on
B A G#m F#m E
I got secrets born with the bomb
[Instrumental]
B C#m A E B C#m A E
B F#m C#m F#m B A G#m F#m E
[Verse]
E B
And just when I thought I'd take a Hemingway shot
C#m A
The F Scott in me says man you better not
E B
And sometimes it's so hard to remember
C#m A E B
How very very Tender is the Night don't let it give you a fright
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
Well everybody needs mercy and a little touch of God
F#m B A
I am looking for mercy and the strength to live on and on and on and
G#m F#m B A G#m F#m
on and on and on and on and on and on
