Single strum of G
Verse 1
I got a feelin' of unrighteousness
Bitter hope(?) hollow bitterness
Down the road I walk with loneliness
But mercy will follow me I'm told
Verse 2
My sister sang a song so sweet and sad
About a man whose love I never had
But there is a train bound for Gilead
And mercy will follow me I'm told.
Chorus
Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me
Til my final breath at last I take?
Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
<electric guitar="" solo--1x="" verse="" chords="">
Verse 3
Under this skin there lies a heart of stone
It's growin' old so very far from home
Well a heart of gold I may one day own
And mercy will follow me I'm told
Chorus
Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me
Til my final breath at last I take?
Mercy, will you follow me?
Mercy, will you follow me
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?
Outro
Whoa-o-o-a-oh-o
