Intro

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

 Yea-ah
