Intro

Single strum of G

Verse 1

I got a feelin' of unrighteousness

Bitter hope(?) hollow bitterness

Down the road I walk with loneliness

But mercy will follow me I'm told

Verse 2

My sister sang a song so sweet and sad

About a man whose love I never had

But there is a train bound for Gilead

And mercy will follow me I'm told.

Chorus

Mercy, will you follow me?

Mercy, will you follow me

Til my final breath at last I take?

Mercy, will you follow me?

Mercy, will you follow me

'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?

<electric guitar="" solo--1x="" verse="" chords="">

Verse 3

Under this skin there lies a heart of stone

It's growin' old so very far from home

Well a heart of gold I may one day own

And mercy will follow me I'm told

Chorus

Mercy, will you follow me?

Mercy, will you follow me

Til my final breath at last I take?

Mercy, will you follow me?

Mercy, will you follow me

'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?

'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?

'Til the chains of this old world I fin'lly break?

Outro

Whoa-o-o-a-oh-o

Yea-ah
