Verse
C# F#
Last night I had a dream
C# F#
The dream I had was true
C# F#
I fell through the stars
C# F#
Went walking on the moon
A#m F# G#
Burned like a thousand candles in her arms
C# F#
The skin under my finger tips
C# F#
Honeysuckle of her lips
C# F# A#m
Sweeter than a man deserves to taste
[Chorus 1]
F# G#
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?
C# F# C# F# C# F#
But Amen. Amen Amen
[Verse 2]
C# F#
Last night we were born together
C# F#
It was like we'd always been
C# F#
She'll be with me forever
C# F#
If I don't see her again
A#m F# G#
We poured the wine until our cup ran over
C# F#
Unfolding like the mystery
C# F#
Inside of her like poetry
C# F# A#m
A# thousand horses running through my veins
[Chorus 1]
F# G#
Mercy, mercy what else can I say
C# F# C# F# C# F#
But Amen. Amen Amen
[Verse 3]
A#m F#
I laid down in her garden
A#m F#
Naked on her floor
A#m F#
Windows up, the curtains blowing
A#m F#
She don't lock the door
[Bridge]
A#m F# C# G# A#m F# C# G#
Amen, Amen
[Verse 4]
C# F#
At the banquet table
C# F#
A# beggar at a feast
C# F#
I felt her tongue between my lips
C# F#
And I forgot to breath
A#m F# G#
We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet
C# F#
Last night I had a dream
C# F#
The dream I had was true
[Chorus/Outro]
C# F# A#m
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say
F# G#
Mercy, mercy, I’ll kneel down and pray
C# F# C# F#
Amen, Amen
A#m F# C# G# A#m F# C# G#
Amen, Amen
