Caroline Herring - A Little Bit Of Mercy Chords

CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: C  F  (4x) 

C               F       C
Time goes by so quickly now
        G                          F      C
On this freight train line through my hometown
                          F        C
There are days I wait for night to come
       G                   F     C
When I fall asleep just to wake again


CHORUS:
       Am             F          G
Oh, to walk beside an honourable man
       Am                      F           C
Honey, sometimes I just do the best that I can
        E7                      Am
And you show me a little bit of mercy
   F  
Of mercy
   C
Of mercy
G                         C      F  C   F  
More than a little bit of mercy


C                 F      C
Striving for that golden crown
        G                          F         C
Will he say, "Well done", when the trumpet sounds
                    F       C
Standing where our fathers stood
   G                   F         C
We learn their ways to make them good


CHORUS:
    Am                       F          G
But where is the heart in an honourable man
       Am                        F             C
Honey, sometimes you just do the best that you can
      E7                       Am
And I show you a little bit of mercy
   F  
Of mercy
   C
Of mercy
G                         C      
More than a little bit of mercy


INSTRUMENTAL: G  F  Am  G  F  Am  G


C               F        C
Underneath this house of stones
  G                F          C
A whole wide world beckons us on
                    F         C
To leave behind the walls and doors
G        F            C
Windows, ceilings and floors


CHORUS:
       Am                    F           G
Let us breathe in mountains, breathe out sun
Am                     F       C
For ourselves and this race we run
          E7                      Am
If you'll show me a little bit of mercy
   F  
Of mercy
   C
Of mercy
G                         C
More than a little bit of mercy
         E7                       Am
And I'll show you a little bit of mercy
   F  
Of mercy
   C
Of mercy
   F  
Of mercy
   C
Of mercy
G                         C       F  C   F  C   F  C  
More than a little bit of mercy
