[Intro]                         [Verse] I was walking down Main Street just the other day Thinking about Brian Jones and the final getaway A man with a collar comes to see me Saying son why do you greet me this way? What did I say? [Chorus] Everybody needs mercy and a little touch of God I was looking for mercy and the strength to live on [Verse] You know these nurses are blue and the sky’s turning black And I can’t seem to get up off of my back And I hear this voice that keeps calling And I’m trying hard to stop falling his way - but that’s OK [Chorus] Well everybody needs mercy and a little touch of God I am looking for mercy and the strength to live on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on [Bridge] You tell me whose going to tell those kids Whose gonna talk about the things we did An who is gonna be there to turn them on I got secrets born with the bomb                  [Instrumental]                                                            [Verse] And just when I thought I’d take a Hemingway shot The F Scott in me says man you better not And sometimes it’s so hard to remember How very very Tender is the Night don’t let it give you a fright [Chorus] Well everybody needs mercy and a little touch of God I am looking for mercy and the strength to live on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on             [Outro] and on and on and
