Verse:

------

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see

Dbm E/Db

Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real

Gbm/A Gbm

All of the buildings, all of the cars

Dbm E/Db

Were once just a dream in somebody's head

Gbm/A E/Db

She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam

Dbm E/Db

She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam

A A/Gb

Bridge:

-------

Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness)

Dbm

Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness comes)

Dbm

[verse]

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey

Nowhere in the suburbs, in the cold light of day

There in the midst of it so alive and alone

Words support like bone

A B

Chorus:

-------

Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, wear your inside out

E/Db A B Dbm Abm/B A9

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again

E A B Dbm B

Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, swear they moved that sign

E/Db A B Dbm Abm/B A9

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms

E A B Dbm

Solo:

-----

E/Db A [repeat twice]

Dbm

[verse]

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth

Tugging at the darkness, word upon word

Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box

To the priest-he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips

Of kissing Mary's lips

A B

[chorus]

Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again

Dreaming of Mercy Street, swear they moved that sign

Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms

[solo]

Mercy, mercy looking for mercy

Dbm

Mercy, looking for mercy

Dbm B Db B

Looking for mercy

Dbm A

Looking for mercy...

Dbm

End:

----

Anne with her father is out in the boat

Dbm E/Db

Riding the water,

Gbm/A

Riding the waves

Gbm

On the sea

Dbm
