INTRO:

Single strum of G

VERSE 1:


              C
I got a feelin' of unrighteousness

            Am
Bitter hope(?) hollow bitterness

                  C
Down the road I walk with loneliness

          G
But mercy will follow me I'm told



VERSE 2:

                            C
My sister sang a song so sweet and sad

               Am
About a man whose love I never had

                       C
But there is a train bound for Gilead

        G
And mercy will follow me I'm told.


CHORUS:

G
Mercy, will you follow me?

C
Mercy, will you follow me

D
Til my final breath at last I take?

G
Mercy, will you follow me?

C
Mercy, will you follow me
G
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
Am (?)
D (?)




VERSE 3:

                   C
Under this skin there lies a heart of stone

                   Am
It's growin' old so very far from home

                          C
Well a heart of gold I may one day own

           G
And mercy will follow me I'm told



CHORUS:

G
Mercy, will you follow me?

C
Mercy, will you follow me

D
Til my final breath at last I take?

G
Mercy, will you follow me?

C
Mercy, will you follow me

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

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

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

Am (?)
D (?)

OUTRO:

Am (?)
Whoa-o-o-a-oh-o

G (?)
Yea-ah
