Lirik dan Chord Lagu The Mercy Seat - Johnny Cash

it seems so fitting in its way

                      Fmaj7

He was a carpenter by trade

                              Am

Or at least that's what I'm told

Am / Em / Am / Em

Am                         Em

My kill-hand's tatooed E.V.I.L.

Am                      Em

across it's brother's fist

Am              Em

That filthy five!

Am                                  Em

They did nothing to challenge or resist.

Am                              AmMaj7

In Heaven His throne is made of gold

                                Am7

The ark of his Testament is stowed

A throne from which I'm told

     G

All history does unfold.

Gm

It's made of wood and wire

       Bb

And my body is on fire

Fmaj7                 Am

And God is never far away.

Am                      AmMaj7

Into the mercy seat I climb

                               Am7

My head is shaved, my head is wired

And like a moth that tries

   G

To enter the bright eye

     Gm

I go shuffling out of life

        Bb

Just to hide in death awhile

Fmaj7              Am

And anyway I never lied.

[Chorus]

Am

And the mercy seat is waiting

AmMaj7

And I think my head is burning

Am7

And in a way I'm yearning

      G                                    Gm

To be done with all this weighing of the truth.

An eye for an eye

                  Bb

And a tooth for a tooth
