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
E|-0-----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
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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]
C#m G#/C
It will come when you're broken
Cdim F#
When your heart is finally open
C#m G#/C
When you're down, down and troubled
Cdim F#
When you're lost among the rubble
[Verse 4]
E B*
Well there's sugar on the old spoon
E
Let's do that old dance
A*
around your front room
E B*
When you're ready for her mercy
A* E
And you're worthy, it will come
[Chorus]
E
Mercy, mercy
B*
Coming to you
E
Feel her beauty
A*
Flowing through you
E
She will unbind you
B*
Set the world free
A* E
Mercy, me---rcy
[Outro]
(Chords continue until end)
