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

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?

                G                      D                    G           Am
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?

                G                      D                    G           Am
