Tuning:

HAVE MERCY: WHEN I SLEEP I wanted to play this song acoustic but no one seemed to have the correct tab or correct tuning for an acoustic guitar. I'm sure you could use this on an electric, i just prefer to play it acoustic. All the other tabs for this song have almost correct chord structures but fail to realize that have mercy uses open tunings VERY OFTEN. With this in mind, i tuned the guitar so it is easy to play but also sounds like an open tuning of sorts. I think it's pretty damn near perfect, especially as an acoustic song. Enjoy.

MESS AROUND WITH THE TUNING TO GET IT JUST RIGHT. EXACTLY TUNED DIDN'T ALWAYS WORK FOR ME (I HAD TO MAKE THE G STRING A LITTLE FLAT FOR THE CHORDS TO SOUND RIGHT). CHEERS.
