Allison Mose - Everybodys Crying Mercy guitar chord

#

From: Harlan L Thompson

EVERYBODY'S CRYIN' MERCY- Mose Allison/ Bonnie Raitt

     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.
