Mercy Is chords by Patti Smith

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: Dm

Dm          Gm    Dm
Mercy is as mercy does
Dm            A
Wandering the wild
Dm              Gm       Dm
The stars arise watching you
Dm              A
A breath upon a cloud




F          C
Two white doves
Gm         Dm
Two white wings
Dm       C     A
To carry you away
Dm           Gm  Dm
To a land in memory
Dm            A
A land in memory

Dm
The sky is high
    Gm
The earth is green
    Dm               A
And cool below your feet

            Dm             A
So swiftly now beneath the bow
      Gm               A
Your father waits for thee
            Dm             A
To wrap you in his healing hands
Gm               A
As the night sky weeps

F          C
Two white doves
Gm         Dm
Two white wings
Dm        C    A
To carry you away
          Dm             A
For mercy is the healing wind
Gm                    A
That whispers as you sleep
Gm                    Dm
That whispers you to sleep
