Mercy Of The Fallen


Capo II G D Oh my fair North Star Em C I have held to you dearly G C I had asked you to steer me G D 'Til one cloud-scattered night G D I got lost in my travels Em C I met Leo the lion G C Met a king and met a giant G D D7 With their errant light Em Bm There's the wind and the rain C And the mercy of the fallen G D Em C Who say they have no claim to know what's right G D There's the weak and the strong Em C And the beds that have no answer G D Em C And that's where I may rest my head tonight G D I saw all the bright people Em C In imposing flocks they landed G C And they got what they demanded G D And they scratched at the ground G D Then they flew and the fear Em C Grew as sweetly for the flightless G C Who had longing yet despite this G D D7 Who could hear every sound Em Bm There's the wind and the rain C And the mercy of the fallen G D Em C Who say they have no claim to know what's right G D Em C G D Em C G D And if your sister or your brother Em C Were stumbling on their last mile G C In a self-inflicted exile G D You'd wish for them a humble friend G D And I hope someday Em C That the best of Falstaff's planners G C Give me seven half-built manors G D Em D Where half dreams may dream without end Em Bm There's the wind and the rain C And the mercy of the fallen G D Em C Who say Hey, it's not my place to know what's right G D There's the weak and the strong Em C And the many stars that guide us G C G D G We have some of them inside us
