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