Her Mercy chords by Glen Hansard

Guitar chords with lyrics

The chords and lyrics to "Her Mercy" by Glen Hansard.
Based on the December 2013 Letterman performance featuring Moji.

The main parts of the song are E, B, E, A - E, B, A, E with a different set of chords in the bridge.

   B* A* C#m G#/C Cdim F#
E|-7--5---x---x---x----2|
A|-9--7---4---3---2----4|
D|-9--7---6---6---x----4|
G|-8--6---6---5---6----3|
B|-0--0---5---4---4----2|
e|-0--0---4---x---x----2|

And the E chord is pretty much the same as Glen does it in Low Rising with the hammer-ons and all.
The main hammer-ons and way to play the E in this song, I think:

HER MERCY
by Glen Hansard


            E                    B*
When you're kneeling through the hours
            E                  A*
And you're doubting your given powers
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


             E                  B*
When you're sneaking round the back door
           E               A*
and she's waiting for you no more
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


         E                 B*
When the birds tuning up still
         E                   A*
And the dawn breaks on your window sill
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


BRIDGE
        C#m              G#/C
It will come when you're broken
          Cdim             F#
When your heart is finally open
            C#m            G#/C
When you're down, down and troubled
            Cdim           F#
When you're lost among the rubble


              E            B*
Well there's sugar on the old spoon
              E
Let's do that old dance
            A*
around your front room
            E             B*
When you're ready for her mercy
           A*               E
And you're worthy, it will come


       E
Mercy, mercy
      B*
Coming to you
          E
Feel her beauty
        A*
Flowing through you
           E
She will unbind you
        B*
Set the world free
       A*     E
Mercy, me---rcy


[Chords continue until end.]

========================================

That's it. The exact chord variations (and their names) may not be 100% true,
but they are really close most of the time, at least. It sounds great when I play it myself.

Props and everything to Glen Hansard for making awesome music.
