Incredible String Band - Mercy I Cry City Chords

[Verse 1]
G                                  G7                  C
Since you got me here I see you're trying to steal my soul
       G                             G7            C
You're army's trying so very hard to find for me a goal
    F#                                                       D7
But where's your quiet pastures where there's time for me to be
G7                                                         C
Nothing else but what I am that's what you seem scared to see
    F#                                               D7
You cover up your emptiness with brick and noise and rush
   G7                                                C
Oh I can see and touch you but you don't owe reality much
 
[Chorus]
     C       G   C                       F
Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind
F           C          E    Am                  G          C
Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me
C       G   C                       F
Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind
 
[Instrumental break]
C G x4
 
[Verse 2]
G                              G7               C
Send another carriage chugging down your chokey tube
  G                                       G7                C
I hope it makes you happy 'cause it don't do my health much good
    F#                                               D7
You slowly killing fumes now squeeze the lemon in my head
G7                                                                  C
Make me know just what it's like for a sin drenched christian to be dead
   F#                                               D7
Ah show me your glitter and your flashing neon light
G7                                                        C
You see I think that only the sun knows how to be quietly bright
 
[Chorus]
     C       G   C                       F
Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind
F           C         E    Am                  G          C
Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me
C       G   C                       F
Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind (but the opposite is also true)
 
[Coda]
D7
Hey, city, what you been doing?
F
All these years what you been doing?
C                      G
Who would believe that what you been doing
                  Am
Would make such a ruin of you?
D7
Hey, city, what you been doing?
F
All these years what you been doing?
C                      G
Who would believe that what you been doing
                  Am
Would make such a ruin of you?
D7
Tell me city...
