INTRO: C majorC

      A minorAm        G+G        FF   C majorC
Across the world she tapes explosives to her chest
    G+G       FF   C majorC
Steps into a shopping mall
     A minorAm       G+G       FF
A augmentedA life devoid of all of mercy's tenderness
C majorC      G+G  C majorC    FF  C majorC FF
Really isn't any life at all

CHORUS:
        C majorC    FF    A minorAm
Tender mercies, tender mercies
G+G       FF
Come before despair
          C majorC    FF    A minorAm
Shine down all your tender mercies
   G+G       C majorC
It's every mother's prayer


        A minorAm    G+G       FF
Down below the factory, along the riverside
C majorC         G+G      FF
Children swimming in a poison pool
C majorC      A minorAm     G+G     FF
Playful afternoon of unintended suicide
C majorC        G+G  C majorC   FF  C majorC FF
Gone before they ever really knew


CHORUS:
        C majorC    FF    A minorAm
Tender mercies, tender mercies

Come before despair
          C majorC    FF    A minorAm
Shine down all your tender mercies

It's every mother's prayer

Across the world she holds her loved ones to her chest
C majorC         G+G       FF
