Kyrie Eleison Acoustic chords by Mr Mister

Chords with lyrics

This tab is sort of a hybrid between the original recording and a very cool acoustic version of this
song by Richard Page from Mr. Mister that can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHOEQwwFLEo
(thanks to ted.finn23 for that little tip!). Richard plays his acoustic version much simpler than my
tab here. He does the verses soley in D, periodically using his index finger to hammer on the 5th string,
3rd fret from the D MajorD formation. He does each line of the chorus in a G+G A minorAm G+G D MajorD pattern and the bridge he
does in E minorEm and G. If you want to match the key of his version, capo 1st fret in standard tuning (in the
video, Richard is playing it tuned down half a step with capo on the 2nd fret).
And, just in case you didn't already know ... Kyrie Eleison is Greek (from the Bible) for "Lord, have mercy."
