Looking down on empty streets, all she can see 
Dbm                            E/Db 
Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real 
        Gbm/A                          Gbm 
All of the buildings, all of the cars 
Dbm                   E/Db 
Were once just a dream in somebody's head 
     Gbm/A                E/Db 
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam 
    Dbm                        E/Db 
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam 
    A                    A/Gb

Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness)

Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness comes) 
Dbm 
{verse} 

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey 

Nowhere in the suburbs, in the cold light of day 

There in the midst of it so alive and alone 

Words support like bone 
A                  B                   

 
Chorus: 
------- 
Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, wear your inside  out 
            E/Db A  B       Dbm         Abm/B A9 
Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms again 
            E     A B         Dbm          B 
Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, swear they moved that  sign 
            E/Db A  B       Dbm              Abm/B A9 
Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms 
            E     A B         Dbm 
Solo: 
----- 

E/Db A  {repeat twice} 

Dbm 
{verse} 

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth 

Tugging at the darkness, word upon word 

Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box 

To the priest-he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks 

Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips 

Of kissing Mary's lips 
   A              B                   
{Chorus}  

Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out 

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again 

Dreaming of Mercy Street, swear they moved that sign 

Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms 
 
{solo} 
 
Mercy, mercy looking for mercy 
Dbm       
Mercy,    looking for mercy 
Dbm    B              Db     B 
Looking for mercy  
            Dbm    A 
Looking for mercy... 
            Dbm 
End:

Anne with her father is out in the boat 
Dbm                     E/Db 
Riding the water,  
Gbm/A                  
Riding the waves 
Gbm 
On the sea 
       Dbm
