Mercy Down

G
There’s a dead canary in the coal mine
And a lamb’s head growing from a grapevine
           C
There’s an old man laughing in the backyard
  Gm
Catching crooks and crickets in the bell jar

Gm
I’ve been waiting for my woman to relieve me
Gm
But she’s outside climbing on the oak tree
Gm
There’s a dead canary in the coal mine
                                          D
And a lamb’s head growing from a grapevine
Growing from a grapevine

    Gm                         C
Yea-ah, it’s getting biblical now
 D
(wo-oah)
 G                      Bb
You better pick your weapons up
     Cm
And throw your mercy down
G                     C
Yea-ah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
 G          Bb
You better pick your weapons up
      Cm                             G
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down
Gm
Throw your mercy down

Gm
There’s a mad-man tapping at the window
Gm
With his pockets full of innuendo
Gm
There’s a joker poking at the doorbell
                 G
And a sparrow drowning in the inkwell
I’ve been waiting for my lover to relieve me
Gm
But they’re outside swinging from the oak tree
D
Swinging from the oak tree

Gm                          Cm
Yeah, it’s getting biblical now
(wo-oah)
G                      Bb
You better pick your weapons up
     Cm
And throw your mercy down
Gm                           C
Yeah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
 G          Bb
You better pick your weapons up
Cm                                     D
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down

                          Gm
There’s a tyrant on the throne
                       Bb
And a clown on every screen
                             D
Compelling us to stay at home
In this low-grade fever dream
                        G
But we’re gathering our strength
                     Bb
We’re becoming less afraid
That there’s hope for us in
D
This unholy mess we’ve made

Gm                         Cm
Hey! It’s getting biblical now
(wo-oah)
Gm                      Bb
You better pick your weapons up
     Cm
And throw your mercy down
Gm                           C
Yeah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
     Gm                      Bb
You better pick your weapons up
     Cm
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down
Bb                    Cm
It’s getting biblical now
(wo-oah)
G                            Bb
You better pick your weapons up
Cm
And throw your mercy down
G      Bb                    C
Yeah, it’s getting mythical now
(wo-oah)
Gm          Bb               Cm
You better pick your weapons up
                                   Gm
And throw your mercy, throw your mercy down
