[Verse 1]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
Am 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 Am
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
Am 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 Am
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]Am F
I laid down in her garden
Am F
Naked on her floor
Am F
Windows up, the curtains blowing
Am F
She don't lock the door
[Bridge] Am F C G Am 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
Am 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 Am
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say
F G
Mercy, mercy, I'll kneel down and pray
C F C F
Amen, Amen
Am F C G Am F C G
