C F C
Time goes by so quickly now
G F C
On this freight train line through my hometown
F C
There are days I wait for night to come
G F C
When I fall asleep just to wake again
CHORUS:
Am F G
Oh, to walk beside an honourable man
Am F C
Honey, sometimes I just do the best that I can
E7 Am
And you show me a little bit of mercy
F
Of mercy
C
Of mercy
G C F C F
More than a little bit of mercy
C F C
Striving for that golden crown
G F C
Will he say, "Well done", when the trumpet sounds
F C
Standing where our fathers stood
G F C
We learn their ways to make them good
CHORUS:
Am F G
But where is the heart in an honourable man
Am F C
Honey, sometimes you just do the best that you can
E7 Am
And I show you a little bit of mercy
F
Of mercy
C
Of mercy
G C
More than a little bit of mercy
INSTRUMENTAL: G F Am G F Am G
C F C
Underneath this house of stones
G F C
A whole wide world beckons us on
F C
To leave behind the walls and doors
G F C
Windows, ceilings and floors
CHORUS:
Am F G
Let us breathe in mountains, breathe out sun
Am F C
For ourselves and this race we run
E7 Am
If you'll show me a little bit of mercy
F
Of mercy
C
Of mercy
G C
More than a little bit of mercy
E7 Am
And I'll show you a little bit of mercy
F
Of mercy

More than a little bit of mercy
