The whole song is the chord progression F#-E-A-D.
Depending on which version you play (Mercury & Lightning or Mercury Session) determines how you play it.
This leaves a lot of room for improv.
ENJOY!
[Verse 1]
I ve been chasing God
I ve been chasing mercury and lightning
And I ve been pressing hard
I ve been coming up short
Lately, I ve been thinking about
What s gonna happen with you and I
I need a new religion
Or I need a new lie
[Verse 2]
I ve been on the phone
I ve been chasing mercury and lightning
Pressing for the deal to close
I ve been coming up short
Lately, I ve been thinking about
What s going on between you and I
I need a true religion
Or I need a new lie
[Chorus]
I swear I ve heard the echoes of a voice
Like a dream that you feel, but you don t remember
I ve known it ever since I was a boy
Like a word on the tip of my tongue
(x2)
I swear I ve heard the echoes of a voice
Like a dream that you feel, but you don t remember
I ve known it ever since I was a boy
Like a word on the tip of my tongue
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
Lately, I ve been thinking about
What s gonna happen with you and I
I need a new religion
Or I need a new lie
