Mercy of the Fallen Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh [D]my fair N[G]orth Star,[D]
I have [Em]held to you [C]dearly,
I had [G]asked you [C]to steer me,
Till one [G]cloud-scattered night,
[D]night,
I got [G]lost and in my [D]travels
I met [Em]Leo the li[C]on,
Met a [G]king and met a gi[C]ant,
with their [G]errant light,
[D]

[Verse 2]
There's the [Em]wind and the [Bm]rain,
and [G]the [C]mercy of the fallen,
Who say [G]they have no [D]claim to
know what's [Em]right.[C]
There's the [G]weak and the [D]strong and
the bed[Em]s that have no answ[C]er,
And that's [G]where I may
[D]rest my head tonight.
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]I saw all[G] the bright peo[D]ple,
In im[Em]posing flocks they [C]landed,
And they [G]got what they deman[C]ded,
And they [G]scratched at the [D]ground.

[Verse 4]
Then they [G]flew, and the [D]field grew
as [Em]sweetly for [C]the flightless,
Who had [G]longing yet [C]despite this,
They could [G]hear every sound.
[D]

[Verse 5]
There's the [Em]wind and the [Bm]rain,
And the [C]mercy of the fallen,
Who say [G]they have no [D]claim to know what's
[Em]right.[C][G][D][Em]
There's the weak [C]and the strong
and the beds that have no answer,
[G]And [D]tha[Em]t's where I may
[C]rest my head tonight.

[Verse 6]
If your sis[G]ter or your [D]brother were
[Em]stumbling on their l[C]ast mile,
In a self-in[G]flicted exile,
ex[C]ile,
You'd hope they'd [G]meet a
humble [D]friend.

[Verse 7]
And I [G]hope [D]someday that the be
[Em]st of Falstaff's p[C]lanners
Give [G]me seven half-built manors,
man[C]ors,
Where [G]half-dreams may may
[D]dream without end.
[Em][D]

[Verse 8]
There's the [Em]wind and the [Bm]rain,
and the [C]mercy of the fallen,
Who say they [G]have no [D]claim to
know what's [Em]right.[C]
There's the [G]weak and the [D]strong and
the [Em]many stars that [C]guide us,
We have [G]some of them [C]inside us.
[G][D][G]
