                          "Mercy Mercy Mercy"
                     (Williams / Watson / Zawinul)

Intro:

	(drum fill)

        E  F#m    E  F#m    E  F#m
	/   / . . /   / . . /   / . . .

Verse 1:

        A  A7       D7
        My baby she may not a-look
        A                 A7                D7
        Like one of those bunnies out of a Playboy Club
        A            A7             D7
        But she got somethin' much greater than gold
        A                A7          D7
        Crazy 'bout that girl 'cause she got so much soul

Chorus:

                    A              D/A    A7(no 3)       D/A
        I said she got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin'
        A       D/A   A7(no 3)            D/A          A
        Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow and I know
                 A/C#       D      E
        That she knocks me off my feet
        D/E           A
        Have mercy on me
                    A/C#      D      E
        'Cause she knocks me off my feet

                 Bm             C#m
        There is no girl in the whole world
              E  F#m  E  F#m   E  F#m [N.C.]
        That can love me like you do

Verse 2:

        My baby when she walks by
        All the fellows go 'mmmm', and I know why
        It's simply 'cause that girl she looks so fine
        And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

        Everybody in the neighborhood
        Will testify that my girl she looks so good
        She's so fine she'd give eyesight to the blind
        And if she ever leaves me I would lose my mind

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

                                 A7
        Baby, yeah, you got that soulful feel, yeah, it's all right
        Mercy, mercy, mercy
