  oh
How to      wrath and mercy? Simmer, simmer, simmer

************************************

If the C#m chord (x5026x) is too difficult, you can play a regular C#m barre instead:
d#|--------------------------------|
Bb|-----6----6----6----6----6----6-|
F#|--------------------------------|
C#|----7----7----7----7----7----7--|
G#|-5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5---|
D#|--------------------------------|
I don't think this is what is played on the recording but it's the same notes. The only real difference is
that the first C# you play won't ring out as it does in the x5026x voicing.

I also recommend playing F#m (3503xx) with your index finger on the 3rd (G) string so that you can
easily slide up to Aadd9 (6805xx).
