Last night I had a dream  
 C                   F  
The dream I had was true  
 C                  F  
I fell through the stars  
 C                   F  
Went walking on the moon  
 Am                     F              G  
Burned like a thousand candles in her arms  
 
 C                        F  
The skin under my finger tips  
 C                  F  
Honeysuckle of her lips  
 C               F                Am  
Sweeter than a man deserves to taste  
 F                          G  
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say?  
 
    C  F   C  F  C  F  
But Amen. Amen Amen 
 
 C                       F  
Last night we were born together  
 C                       F  
It was like we'd always been  
 C                 F  
She'll be with me forever  
 C                  F  
If I don't see her again  
 Am                 F                 G  
We poured the wine until our cup ran over  
 
 C                  F  
Unfolding like the mystery  
 C                  F  
Inside of her like poetry  
 C                 F                  Am  
 A thousand horses running through my veins  
 F                           G  
Mercy, mercy what else can I say  
 
    C  F   C  F  C  F  
But Amen. Amen Amen 
 
 Am                 F  
I laid down in her garden  
 Am           F  
Naked on her floor  
 Am                  F  
Windows up, the curtains blowing  
 Am                  F  
She don't lock the door  
 
 Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C  G  
Amen,      Amen  
 
 C              F  
At the banquet table  
 C             F  
 A beggar at a feast  
 C                            F  
I felt her tongue between my lips  
 C                  F  
And I forgot to breath  
 Am                       F                   G  
We stayed there 'til the candles burned the carpet  
 
 C                  F  
Last night I had a dream  
 C                   F  
The dream I had was true  
 C             F               Am  
Mercy, mercy, what else can I say  
 F                                  G  
Mercy, mercy, I’ll kneel down and pray 
 
 C  F  C  F  
Amen, Amen  
 
 Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C  G  
Amen,      Amen
