C                  F
Last night I had a dream
C                   F
The dream I had was true
C                  F
I fell through the stars
C                   F
Went walking on the moon
Am                     F              G
Burned like a thousand candles in her arms

C                        F
The skin under my finger tips
C                  F
Honeysuckle of her lips
C               F                Am
Sweeter than a man deserves to taste
F                          G
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?

    C F   C F  C F
But Amen. Amen Amen

C                       F
Last night we were born together
C                       F
It was like we'd always been
C                 F
She'll be with me forever
C                  F
If I don't see her again
Am                 F                 G
We poured the wine until our cup ran over

C                  F
Unfolding like the mystery
C                  F
Inside of her like poetry
C                 F                  Am
A thousand horses running through my veins
F                           G
Mercy, mercy what else can I say

    C F   C F  C F
But Amen. Amen Amen

Am                 F
I laid down in her garden
Am           F
Naked on her floor
Am                  F
Windows up, the curtains blowing
Am                  F
She don't lock the door

 Am F C G  Am F  C G
Amen,      Amen

C              F
At the banquet table
C             F
A beggar at a feast
C                            F
I felt her tongue between my lips
C                  F
And I forgot to breath
Am                       F                   G
We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet

C                  F
Last night I had a dream
C                   F
The dream I had was true
C             F               Am
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say
F                                  G
Mercy, mercy, I'll kneel down and pray

 C F  C F
Amen, Amen

 Am F C G  Am F  C G
Amen,      Amen
