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.
Em Bm
I began to warm and chill
Em Bm
To objects and their fields
Em Bm
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
Em Bm
The face of Jesus in my soup
Em Bm
Those sinister dinner deals
Em Bm
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
Em Bm
A hooked bone rising from my
Em Bm
food. All things good or ungood.
Em
And the mercy seat is waiting
Em
And I think my head is burning
Bm
And in a way I'm yearning to be
D
done with all this measuring of
Dm
truth, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a
F
tooth, And anyway I told the
C Em
truth, And I'm not afraid to die.
etc.
Look at other chord tabs for full lyrics and song structure. Thanks.
