[Intro]

C Am F


[Verse 1]

C        Am                F
Cops and robbers, strictly bargain line,
C          Am                 Em                  F
 Spend the wet night tracking visions through the pines.
                              G
Draw my arms into my hospital gown.
C                            F
See the sky open up and rain down,
G
Rain down.


[Chorus]

C     Am           F
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.
C     Am           F          G
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.


[Verse 2]

C       Am                    F     G
Hear my rivals on the western wind.
C       Am       Em                         F
Hard to know who might or might not be your friend.
                            G
Work by the Plutonian light.
C                Am          F    
Forbidden rosary prayers all night,
G
All night.


[Chorus]

C     Am           F
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.
C     Am           F          G
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.


[Verse 3]

Dm        Am
Beam of a flashlight,
Dm               Am
All night in the woods.
Em           C
Hunt us like dogs,
         F                G
And then string us up for good.
C        Am            F
Keep one step ahead of enemies.
C        Am                     Em                  F
Foretell worse things than such frightful nights as these.
                            G
Lead us to the beach by our hands,
    C                     F    G
And bury us there in the sand.


[Chorus]

C     Am           F
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.
C     Am           F          G
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.
C     Am           F
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.
C     Am           F          C
Mercy for the Diaz brothers.
