INTRO:
Single strum of G
VERSE 1:
I got a feelin[G]' of unrighteousn[C]ess
Bitter hope([D]?) hollow bitterness[Am]
Down the road I wa[G]lk with loneliness[C]
But mercy [D]will follow me I'm told[G]
VERSE 2:
My sister sang a song so swe[G]et and sad[C]
About a man who[D]se love I never had[Am]
But there is a train bo[G]und for Gilead[C]
And merc[D]y will follow me I'm told.[G]
CHORUS:
[G]Mercy, will you follow me?
[C]Mercy, will you follow me
[G]Til my final breath at last I take?[D]
[G]Mercy, will you follow me?
[C]Mercy, will you follow me
[G]'Til the chains of this old world I fin'l[D]ly break?[G]

VERSE 3:
Under this skin the[G]re lies a heart of stone[C]
It's growin' old so[D] very far from [Am]home
