Everybodys Crying Mercy

A F E7 I don't believe the things I'm seein' A F E7 I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard F G# G Everybody's crying mercy Bb E A When they don't know the meaning of the word A F E7 A bad enough situation Is sure enough getting worse Everybody's crying justice Just as soon as there's business first F E F E Toe to toe, touch and go F E D Give a cheer and get your own souvenir A F E7 Well you know the people running round in circles Don't know what they're headed for Everybody's crying peace on earth Just as soon as we win this war F E F E Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead F E D So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite A F E7 You don't have to go to off-Broadway To see something plain absurd Everybody's crying mercy When they don't know the meaning of the word Bb E D Nobody knows the meaning of the word NOTE: It was really hard for me to figure out these chords as this more jazzy style is something I don't usually do. Hopefully this will bet you started though. (from Bonnie Raitt's Takin My Time, 1973) (sent by Harlan at harlant@hawaii.edu)
