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