Have Mercy typically play in open tunings - this song is in open D on the record.
However, over time, I've transcribed what I believe to be the closest-sounding
rendition in standard tuning possible.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to make it even better, feel free to share!
Just please keep in mind when rating that this is not meant to be "perfect" - simply
an accurate-sounding chord chart for standard tuning.

I called you up, just where have you been

Why won't she go home?
D/F# D/G
I have you on the other telephone.

And say the three words that I just want you to

Cause I need you

Yeah I need you

We laughed in the sun, we laid in the grass

I felt your earth pushing back, it pushed back
F#m G
What you don't know, don't know

Is you're gone and I'm home
F#m G
But I'm all alone
D/F#
And everybody who knows what comes after

And everybody swung from the rafters
