Nick Cave - Mercy Seat
I was reading the tabs on this site and came up with this alternative.
The verse is Em and Bm but I think the song is the Em bar chord on fret 7 5th string and
fret 7 barred accross from the 5th string like this:
--7---7--|
--8---7--|
--9---7--|
--9---7--|
--7---7--|
---------|
This doesn t apply to the verse which I use all bar chords for. The guitar chords in the
Nick Cave recording are just strung once and let ring with a whole bunch echoe and
droney stuff.
I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley s wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my
food. All things good or ungood.
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I m yearning to be
done with all this measuring of
truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
tooth, And anyway I told the
truth, And I m not afraid to die.
etc.
Look at other chord tabs for full lyrics and song structure. Thanks.
