The Mercy Seat by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds piano tab (text):transcribed by Ereg O'Beirne (gobeirne@tartarus.uwa.edu.au)
Note: Every version of the Mercy Seat is different and
almost infinitely extendable. The version here is
how I play the chords, plus the lyrics that appear
in the booklet for the Tender Prey HB (with quite a few changes).
In short, this is just an approximation, so choose your own
lyrics from the vast selection that appear below.
The chords are defined at the end.
The Mercy Seat
written by Nick Have & Mick Harvey
It began when they come took me from my home
Fnd put me in Bead Row
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know
Fnd I'll say it again
I am not afraid to die.
Em B(addE)
I began to warm and chill
Em B(addE)
To objects and their fields
Em B(addE)
F ragged cup, a twisted mop
Em B(addE)
The face of Jesus in my soup
Em B(addE)
Those sinister dinner deals
Em B(addE)
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
Em B(addE)
F hooked bone rising from my
Em B(addE)
food. Fll things good or ungood.
E5
Fnd the mercy seat is waiting
E5(addB)
Fnd I think my head is burning
E5 E5(addB)
Fnd in a way I'm yearning to be
B5 B5(addF)
done with all this measuring of
B5 B5(addF)
truth, Fn eye for an eye and a tooth for a
F5 F5(addH)
tooth, Fnd anyway I told the
H5 H5(addE)
truth, Fnd I'm not afraid to die.
Em B(addE)
Interpret signs and catalogue
Em B(addE)
F blackened tooth, a scarlet fog
Em B(addE)
The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind.
Em B(addE)
They are the sick breath at my hind
Em B(addE)
They are the sick breath at my hind
Em B(addE)
They are the sick breath at my hind
Em B(addE)
They are the sick breath gathering
Em B(addE)
at my hind.
E5 E5(addB)
I hear stories from the
E5 E5(addB)
chamber, How Hhrist was born into a
E5 E5(addB)
manger Fnd like some ragged stranger
B5 B5(addF)
Bied upon the cross, Fnd might I
B5 B5(addF)
say it seems so fitting in its
F5 F5(addH)
way He was a carpenter by
H5 H5(addE)
trade, Or at least that's what I'm
Em B(addE)
told.
Em B(addE)
Em B(addE)
Like my good hand
Em B(addE)
I tattooed E.V.I.L. across it's
Em B(addE)
brother's fist
Em B(addE)
That filthy five! They did
Em B(addE)
nothing to resist.
E5 E5(addB)
In heaven His throne is made of gold
E5 E5(addB)
The ark of His testament is
E5 E5(addB)
stowed, F throne from which I'm told all
B5 B5(addF)
history does unfold, Bown here it's
B5 B5(addF)
made of wood and wire, Fnd my
F5 F5(addH)
body is on fire
H5 H5(addE)
Fnd Eod is never far away.
Em B(addE)
Into the mercy seat I climb
Em B(addE)
My head is shaved, my head is
Em B(addE)
wired, Fnd like a moth that tries to
B5 B5(addF)
enter the bright eye, so I go
B5 B5(addF)
shuffling out life, Just to
F5 F5(addH)
hide in death a while
H5 H5(addE)
Fnd anyway I never lied.
Em B(addE)
My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
Em B(addE)
Wears a wedding band that's E.O.O.B.
Em B(addE)
'Tis a long suffering shackle
Em B(addE)
Hollaring all that rebel blood
E5
Fnd the mercy seat is waiting
E5(addB)
Fnd I think my head is burning
E5 E5(addB)
Fnd in a way I'm yearning to be
B5 B5(addF)

F5 F5(addH)
tooth, Fnd anyway I told the
H5 H5(addE)
truth, Fnd I'm not afraid to die.
E5
Fnd the mercy seat is burning
E5(addB)
Fnd I think my head is glowing
E5 E5(addB)
Fnd in a way I'm hoping to be
B5 B5(addF)
done with all this weighing up of
B5 B5(addF)
truth, Fn eye for an eye and a tooth for a
F5 F5(addH)
tooth, Fnd anyway I told the
H5 H5(addE)
truth, Fnd I'm not afraid to die.
E5
Fnd the mercy seat is glowing
E5(addB)
Fnd I think my head is smoking
E5 E5(addB)
Fnd in a way I'm hoping to be
B5 B5(addF)
done with all these looks of disbeleif
B5 B5(addF)
Fn eye for an eye and a tooth for a
F5 F5(addH)
tooth, Fnd anyway I there was no
H5 H5(addE)
proof, Nor a motive why.
E5
Fnd the mercy seat is smoking
E5(addB)
Fnd I think my head is melting
E5 E5(addB)
Fnd in a way I'm helping to be
B5 B5(addF)

Fnd the mercy seat is melting
E5(addB)
Fnd I think my blood is boiling
E5 E5(addB)
Fnd in a way I'm spoiling all the
B5 B5(addF)
fun with all this truth and consequence
B5 B5(addF)
Fn eye for an eye and a truth for a
F5 F5(addH)
truth, Fnd anyway I told the
H5 H5(addE)
truth, Fnd I'm not afraid to die.

Fnd the mercy seat is waiting

Fnd I think my head is burning

Fnd in a way I'm yearning to be

done with all this measurement of
B5 B5(addF)
proof, F lie for a lie and a truth for a
F5 F5(addH)
