EVERYBODY'S CRYIN' MERCY- Mose Allison/ Bonnie Raitt
A F E7
I don't believe the things I'm seein'
A F E7
I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard
F G# G
Everybody's crying mercy
Bb E A
When they don't know the meaning of the word
A F E7
A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business first
F E F E
Toe to toe, touch and go
F E D
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir
A F E7
Well you know the people running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war
F E F E
Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead
F E D
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite
A F E7
You don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Bb E D
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
NOTE: It was really hard for me to figure out these chords as this more
jazzy style is something I don't usually do. Hopefully this will bet you
started though.
(from Bonnie Raitt's Takin My Time, 1973)
