[Intro]
Am F Am
[Verse]
    N.C.
Our dear daddy left us when we was quite young
 N.C.
He said lord have mercy on my daughter and my wicked son
 N.C.
Raised by my friends, guess I’m on the road again
 N.C.
The one he said would lead me to a dark heaven-less end
               N.C.
So lord have mercy on my soul
 N.C.
Lord have mercy I don’t know which way to go
 N.C.
Which way to turn oh I don’t know
 N.C.
Lord have mercy on my good for nothing soul
My pCapa weren’t no preacher still he sprBead that word of yours
To make Fup for all the sinning and rAmebelling without a cause
BCack when he was young wBay too young to know
The wFord of God would touch him tell him hAme’s a Rolling Stone
So lord have mAmercy on his sEmoul
Lord have mFercy whichever way that he rDmolls
Too old to Amlearn
Too dumb tEmo know
Its a sFin to turn your back on the oDmats that you have sown
[Hook]
Lord have mAmercyF  
Lord have mAmercyF  
Lord have mAmercyF  
Lord have mAmercyF  
[Verse 2]
  AmOh God I love you and I’m grFateful for my life
Yes I’m grAmateful that you blessed me with a dFaughter and a wife
But AmI don’t believe my daddy when he sFays I’ll burn in hell
Cause AmI don’t go to church live by the stFories that he tells
But if I’m wrAmong and the self rGighteous one is right
Blame the dFevil for my lucidness fDmorgive me for my stupidness
Have mAmercy on my sFoul
Lord have mAmercy I don’t know which way to gFo
But I can lAmearn, give me a tFry
Just please have mAmercy if I don’t before I dFie
[Hook]
Lord have mAmercyF  
Lord have mAmercyF  
Lord have mAmercyF  
Lord have mAmercyF  
 AmHallelujah, halle-halle-lujah
BEmig drop in the ocean
 FHallelujah, halle-halle-lujah
FDmollowing the motion
 AmHallelujah, halle-halle-lujah
BEmig drop in the ocean
 FHallelujah, halle-halle-lujah
FDmollowing the motion
[Verse 3]
If I’m mAmistaken tell me whEmy
If I’m forsFaken take away these tears I cDmry
For the non-belAmievers I hold so dEmear
Because they hFelped me in my life when things weren’Dmt clear
I thought you Amsent them but if that ain't rEmight
Then lord have mFercy on my skewed and wayward mDmind
N.C.
I said I thought you sent them to be my guides
N.C.
Thought the way you works mysterious but if I’m just delirious
Have meAmrcy   Bon my sFoulAm  
Lord have mAmercy    BI don’t knFow which way to gAmo
Lord have mAmercy on Bmy soul
