Mercy of the Flame
Mark Heard
Album: Dry Bones Dance
A (4 beats) G (2beats) D (2 beats)
A F#m E
You can't recall me on my own and you are amused
A F#m C#m
But this knot is not a noose, I love her
D Bm D E
I'd do it all again don't pity me
A F#m C#m
I know what I'm doing
F#m D E A F#m
I don't even feel the pain love ignites
C#m D
And I have been so long
Bm E
At the mercy of the flame
A F#m E
She's a fever in my bones, I'll never get well
A F#m C#m
You can laugh and you can tell I'm hopeless
D Bm D E
I'll take that chance, don't pity me


Chorus
A
At the mercy of a fever
C#m
I'm wax in the sun
F#m D
Oh-she's more than a flame
Bm
And I'll gladly be burned
D
I'll gladly be burned
E Esus E
I'll gladly be burned
A F#m E
Have my senses taken leave? I doubt if you know
A F#m C#m
You just see me growing old but I feel it
D Bm D E
I feel the same as always, don't pity me


Chorus
