    Verse 1
    He 
    was standin' 
    on 
    the corner 

    A 
    hundred 
    dollar 
    bill 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    Said, 
    I 
    could feed 
    a lot 
    of 
    these 

    people 
    with 
    this 

    But that 
    ain't 
    the business 
    at 
    hand 

    Ain't 
    but one 
    reason 
    for 

    a white 
    boy 
    to be 

    Over on 
    this 
    side 
    of 
    town 

    He gave 
    that 
    money 
    to 
    the man 

    And 
    he 
    bought 
    a little 
    mercy 
    for 
    now 

    Verse 2

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on me 

    I'm 
    a sinner 
    Lord 

    Can't 
    you 
    see 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    Verse 3
    Old 
    Joe 
    don't 
    know 
    how 
    it 
    got 
    started 

    I 
    guess 
    it was 
    the fire 
    in her 
    eyes 

    He loved 
    his wife 
    and children 

    And 
    he was
    n't 
    into 
    telling 
    all 
    these 
    lies 

    But 
    she 
    gave 
    herself 
    so 
    freely 

    In that 
    room 
    at 
    the 
    top 
    of the 
    stairs 

    He'd 
    go 
    to her 
    in 
    hope 
    he'd 

    find 
    a little 
    mercy 
    there 

    Verse 4

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    I'm 
    a sin
    ner Lord 

    Can't 
    you 
    see 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    Verse 5

    Tears 
    were 
    made 
    to 
    fall 

    Hearts 
    made 
    to 
    break 

    Sometimes 
    it 
    feels 

    Like 
    they 
    just 
    want 
    to know 

    How 
    much 
    you 
    can 
    take 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    She 
    was all 
    alone 
    that 
    evening 

    What 
    was 
    she thinking 
    about? 

    Her mind 
    was 
    made 
    up 

    And 
    I 
    guess 
    it 
    was 
    the 
    only 
    way 
    out 

    There's 
    a pis
    tol 
    in 
    a pawn 

    shop 
    win
    dow 

    Made 
    of cold 
    blue 
    steel 

    She 
    took 
    it home 
    to find 
    out 

    How 
    warm 
    a 
    little 
    mercy 
    could 
    feel 

    Verse 7
    Have 
    mercy 
    on me 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    I'm 
    a sin
    ner 
    Lord 

    Can't 
    you 
    see 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    Verse 8
    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    I'm 
    a sin
    ner 
    Lord 

    Can't 
    you 
    see 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me 

    Verse 9
    God 
    knows 
    that 
    mercy 
    ain't 
    free 

    Have 
    mercy 
    on 
    me

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
