EVERYBODY'S CRYIN' MERCY- Mose Allison/ Bonnie Raitt
A F E7
I don't believe the things I'm seein'
A F E7
I've been wonderin' 'bout some things I've heard
F G# G
Everybody's crying mercy
Bb E A
When they don't know the meaning of the word
A F E7
A bad enough situation
Is sure enough getting worse
Everybody's crying justice
Just as soon as there's business first
F E F E
Toe to toe, touch and go
F E D
Give a cheer and get your own souvenir
A F E7
Well you know the people running round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's crying peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war
F E F E
Straight ahead, gotta knock em dead
F E D
So pack your kit, choose your own hypocrite
A F E7
You don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see something plain absurd
Everybody's crying mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Bb E D
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
NOTE: It was really hard for me to figure out these chords as this more
jazzy style is something I don't usually do. Hopefully this will bet you
started though.
(from Bonnie Raitt's Takin My Time, 1973)

Great song. Thanks for transposing. Please just go ahead and put all chords down, it makes it so much easier!! If it was just 2 or 3 chords, ok. But with more than that and a slightly unique blues pattern have “mercy “ on us slower brained creatures!!

Nice place to start. I took these and transposed to the key Bonnie signs it in (C). Use ALL Barre chords and you've got something you can play along with the recording to. Working on adding some 9th or such to jazz up a little more. Good job!
