Everybody Cryin Mercy Chords & Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

I don[G7]'t believe the thi[C#m9]ngs I'm seein[Cm9]'

I've been wonder[G7]in' 'bout some t[C#m9]hings I've he[Cm9]ard

[C#m9]Everybody[Cm9]'s crying [Fm9]mercy [Em9]

When they do[Cm9]n't know the [D7]meaning of the [G7]word

[Same as above]
A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business first

[D#maj7]Toe to to[D7]e, [D#maj7]touch and go[D7]
[D#maj7]Give a cheer[D7] and get your o[Cm9]wn souveni[D7]r

Chords repeat, just listen for it.

Well you know the people running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war

Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite

You don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word

Nobody knows the meaning of the word
