D F#* A* B* A* D*
G#* G* D6

         D
Well you praise him
         F#*
Then you thank him
        A*        B* A*  D*
Til you reach the by-and-by
             G#*
And I've won hundreds at the track
            G*                   D6
But I'm not betting on the afterlife


         D
Then you kiss his lips
      F#*
He forgives you for it
      A*            B*  A*     D*
He forgives you for all you've done
        G#*
But not me
          G* D6
I'm still an-gry


I         II
What have I done?
I               III          II  I
Why am I always messin' with
        D6
The big guns?


First I'll build a sword
Get some words to explain
It's a plan, brother, at least
And I'll pretend that everybody here wants peace

Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me
Cause we're tired, lonely and we're bloody

I         II
What have we done?
I                III
Why are we still running
             II               I
From our own failing bodies?
        D6            D6
The big guns, the big guns

Sing mercy, sing mercy, sing mercy on me
Let's pretend that everybody here wants peace

I         II
What have we done?
I                III                   III II      II  I
Why are we still chasing our own tails and runnin?
             D6            D6            D6
From the big guns, the big guns, the big guns
