[E] Lord have mercy, [A] Lord have mercy on me. [E] 
[E] Lord have [A] mercy, Lord have mercy on me. [E] [riff - &] 
Well if I‘ve [B] done somebody wrong, [A] Lord, have mercy [E] if you 
please. [riff] 
 
[E] I used to have plenty of money, [A] the finest clothes in town, 
[E] But bad luck and trouble overtaken me, bound to get me down. 
Please have [A] mercy, Lord have mercy on me. [E] [riff - &]

Solo on [A] [E] 
[B] [A] [E] 
 
{The solo starts out: 
(e) |------------------------------------| 
(B) |----8-10-11-----8-10-11-----8-10-11-| 
(G) |--9-----------9-----------9---------| 
After that, it turns into a flurry of notes, which is really hard to tab 
out, and I didn‘t find it quite compelling enough to spend all the time.} 
 
[E] Well if I‘ve been a bad boy, baby, [A] I declare I‘ll change my ways. 
[E] I don‘t want bad luck and trouble to follow me all my days. 
Please have [A] mercy, Lord have mercy on me. [E] [riff - &] 
Well if I‘ve [B] done somebody wrong, [A] Lord, have mercy [E] if you please.
