(ver. 1)
Mary Gauthier
[Intro]
A     A     A     A    A   A
                          
[Verse 1]
A                                  D     D
My father could use a little mercy now
    F#    E                             A                  A
The fruits of his labor fall and rot slowly on the ground
A                                                     D      D
His work is almost over it won't be long, he won't be around
   E       Em     E          Em             A     A
I love my father,   he could use some mercy now

[Verse 2]
A                                   D
My brother could use a little mercy now
          E         Em                           E            A      A
He's a stranger to freedom, he's shackled to his fear and his doubt
A                                                             D      D
The pain that he lives in it's almost more than living will allow
  E                                       A     A
I love my bother, he could use some mercy now

[Verse 3]
A                                                 D      D
My church and my country could use a little mercy now
        E                                                            A    A
As they sink into a poisoned pit it's going to take forever to climb out
A                                                     D     D
They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them down
E                                        Em             A      A
I love my church and country, they could use some mercy now

[Verse 4]
A                                           D     D
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
E                                                                A       A
Only the hand of grace can end the race towards another mushroom cloud
A                                                   D      D
People in power, they'll do anything to keep their crown
E                                                A      A
I love life and life itself could use some mercy now

[Instrumental]
A     A     D     D
E    E      A     A
A    A      D    D
E   A       A

[Verse 5]
A                                     D      D
Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now
   E                                         Am    A
I know we don't deserve it but we need it anyhow
A                                                       D      D
We hang in the balance dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
E                                               Am    A
And every single one of us could use some mercy now

[Outro]
E                            D              A     A
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
E                            D              A     A
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
A     A
