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