  Verse:

  ------

  

  Looking down on empty streets, all she can see

  Dbm                            E/Db

  

  Are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams made real

          Gbm/A                          Gbm

  

  All of the buildings, all of the cars

  Dbm                   E/Db

  

  Were once just a dream in somebody's head

       Gbm/A                E/Db

  

  She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam

      Dbm                        E/Db

  

  She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam

      A                    A/Gb           

  

  Bridge:

  -------

  Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness)

  Dbm

  

  Let's take the boat out (wait until darkness comes)

  Dbm

  

  

  [verse]

  Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey

  Nowhere in the suburbs, in the cold light of day

  There in the midst of it so alive and alone

  Words support like bone

  A                  B                  

  

  Chorus:

  -------

  Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, wear your inside  out

              E/Db A  B       Dbm         Abm/B A9

  

  Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms again

              E     A B         Dbm          B

  

  Dreaming of Mer--cy Street, swear they moved that  sign

              E/Db A  B       Dbm              Abm/B A9

  

  Dreaming of mercy     in your daddy's arms

              E     A B         Dbm

  

  Solo:

  -----

  E/Db A  [repeat twice]

  Dbm

  

  [verse]

  Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth

  Tugging at the darkness, word upon word

  Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box

  To the priest-he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks

  Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips

  Of kissing Mary's lips

     A              B                  

  

  [chorus] 

  Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out

  Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again

  Dreaming of Mercy Street, swear they moved that sign

  Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms

  

  [solo]

  

  Mercy, mercy looking for mercy

  Dbm      

  

  Mercy,    looking for mercy

  Dbm    B              Db     B

  

  Looking for mercy 

              Dbm    A

  

  Looking for mercy...

              Dbm

  

  End:

  ----

  Anne with her father is out in the boat

  Dbm                     E/Db

  

  Riding the water, 

  Gbm/A                 

  

  Riding the waves

  Gbm

  

  On the sea

         Dbm
