INTRO:
Single strum of G
VERSE 1:
G5 C5
I got a feelin' of unrighteousness
D5 A5
Bitter hope(?) hollow bitterness
G5 C5
Down the road I walk with loneliness
D5 G5
But mercy will follow me I'm told
VERSE 2:
G5 C5
My sister sang a song so sweet and sad
D5 A5
About a man whose love I never had
G5 C5
But there is a train bound for Gilead
D5 G5
And mercy will follow me I'm told.
CHORUS:
G5
Mercy, will you follow me?
C5
Mercy, will you follow me
G5 D5
Til my final breath at last I take?
G5
Mercy, will you follow me?
C5
Mercy, will you follow me
G5 D5 G5
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
G5 - G5 - A5 (?)
G5 - G5 - E5 - D5 (?)
VERSE 3:
G5 C5
Under this skin there lies a heart of stone
D5 A5
It's growin' old so very far from home
G5 C5
Well a heart of gold I may one day own
D5 G5
And mercy will follow me I'm told
CHORUS:
G5
Mercy, will you follow me?
C5
Mercy, will you follow me
G5 D5
Til my final breath at last I take?
G5
Mercy, will you follow me?
C5
Mercy, will you follow me
G5 D5 G5 A5
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
G5 D5 G5 A5
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
G5 D5 G5 A5
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
