Johnny Cash - Mercy Seat guitar tab

This song is a great song, really easy too, the majority of the song is just Am and E.

only hard bit is trying to fit his lyrics to the guitar and you'll have to figure out

to put his little runs in too (its too hard to try and explain where they go).

If this tab sucks please tell me, but im pretty sure it's right.

Enjoy xx

VERSE

Simply Am, E repeated

These are put before some of the chord changes, the song sounds fine without them.

Am AmMaj7 Am7 G Gm Bb Fmaj7 Am

Am

And the mercy seat is waiting

AmMaj7

And I think my head is burning

Am7

And in a way I'm yearning

G Gm

To be done with all this weighing of the truth.

An eye for an eye

Bb

And a tooth for a tooth

Fmaj7

And anyway I told the truth

Am

And I'm not afraid to die.

- The last Am of the chorus also becomes the first Am of either the verse or the next

its not hard to figure out.Added by tabs-database.com and our distinguished partners
