Nick Cave - Mercy Seat
I was reading the tabs on this site and came up with this alternative.
The verse is Em and Bm but I think the song is the Em bar chord on fret 7 5th string and 
fret 7 barred accross from the 5th string like this:
--7---7--|
--8---7--|
--9---7--|
--9---7--|
--7---7--|
---------|

This doesn't apply to the verse which I use all bar chords for. The guitar chords in the 
Nick Cave recording are just strung once and let ring with a whole bunch echoe and 
droney stuff.

Em (022000@1)       Bm (x24432@1)  I began to warm and chill
   Em (022000@1)       Bm (x24432@1)  To objects and their fields
   Em (022000@1)            Bm (x24432@1)  A ragged cup, a twisted mop
   Em (022000@1)              Bm (x24432@1)  The face of Jesus in my soup
   Em (022000@1)           Bm (x24432@1)  Those sinister dinner deals
   Em (022000@1)               Bm (x24432@1)  The meal trolley's wicked wheels
   Em (022000@1)          Bm (x24432@1)  A hooked bone rising from my
   Em (022000@1)               Bm (x24432@1)  food.   All things good or ungood.

Em (022000@1)  And the mercy seat is waiting
   Em (022000@1)  And I think my head is burning
   Bm (x24432@1)  And in a way I'm yearning to be
   D (xx0232@1)  done with all this measuring of
   Dm (xx0231@1)  truth,   An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
   F (133211@1)  tooth,   And anyway I told the
   C (x32010@1)                           Em (022000@1)  truth,   And I'm not afraid to die.

etc.

Look at other chord tabs for full lyrics and song structure. Thanks.
