Mercy Mercy Me
Marvin Gaye


Verse
1:
Emaj7 Emaj7
Ah, mercy, mercy me,
C#m7
C#m7 F#m7
Ah, things ain't what they used to
be, no, no.
F#m7
Where did all the blue
skies go?
Amaj7 Amaj7
Poison is the wind
that blows from the north and south and
east.

Verse 2:
Mercy, mercy me,
Ah,
things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
Oil
wasted on the ocean and upon
our seas fish full
of mercury,

Verse 3:
Oh, mercy, mercy
me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no,
no, no.
Radiation underground and in the
sky;
animals and birds who live near by are
dying.

Verse 4:
Oh, mercy, mercy
me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to
be.
What about this over crowded land?
How
much more abuse from man can she stand?
