The chords and lyrics to "Her Mercy" by Glen Hansard.
Based on the December 2013 Letterman performance featuring Moji.
The main parts of the song are E, B, E, A - E, B, A, E with a different set of chords in the bridge.
B* A* C#m G#/C Cdim F#
E|-7--5---x---x---x----2|
A|-9--7---4---3---2----4|
D|-9--7---6---6---x----4|
G|-8--6---6---5---6----3|
B|-0--0---5---4---4----2|
e|-0--0---4---x---x----2|
And the E chord is pretty much the same as Glen does it in Low Rising with the hammer-ons and all.
The main hammer-ons and way to play the E in this song, I think:
E|-E0-----0---- --x-|
A|-9h11--11--- --x-|
D|-9-----9h11- with a variation:-11-|
G|-x-----x---- --9-|
B|-0-----0---- -10-|
e|-0-----0---- -12-|

HER MERCY
by Glen Hansard
E B*
When you're kneeling through the hours
E A*
And you're doubting your given powers
E B*
When you're ready for her mercy
A* E
And you're worthy, it will come
E B*
When you're sneaking round the back door
E A*
and she's waiting for you no more
E B*
When you're ready for her mercy
A* E
And you're worthy, it will come
E B*
When the birds tuning up still
E A*
And the dawn breaks on your window sill
E B*
When you're ready for her mercy
A* E
And you're worthy, it will come
BRIDGE
It will C#mcome when you're G#/Cbroken
When your Cdimheart is finally F#open
When you're C#mdown, down and G#/Ctroubled
When you're Cdimlost among the F#rubble
E B*
Well there's sugar on the old spoon
Let's do that Eold dance
A*
around your front room
E B*
When you're ready for her mercy
A* E
And you're worthy, it will come
Mercy, Emercy
B*
Coming to you
Feel her bEeauty
A*
Flowing through you
She will unEbind you
B*
Set the world free
A* E
Mercy, me---rcy
[Chords continue until end.]
========================================
That's it. The exact chord variations (and their names) may not be 100% true,
but they are really close most of the time, at least. It sounds great when I play it myself.
Props and everything to Glen Hansard for making awesome music.
Have fun!
