Lyrics
At the mercy of the tide. (reggae slow). Dm, Gm, Dm, A, Dm
Against a southbound [Dm]wind ...I'm going for a ride
Flying on my [Gm] horse...I Look for Lucy in the [Dm]sky
Spinning round and [A] round...Im at the mercy of the [Dm]tide
Catch the setting [Dm] sun...I've got nothing to hide
I'm feeling no [Gm] pain....I've got luck on my [Dm]side
Spinning round and [A] round...I'm at the mercy of the [Dm]tide
The mercy of the [Bm] tide..Im at the mercy of the [Dm]tide
I can't see the [A7]light..I cant see the [Dm]light
The mercy of the [Bm] tide..Im at the mercy of the [Dm]tide
I can't see the [A7]light..I cant see the [Dm]light
(SOLO)
(BRIDGE)
[Bm]When the fog rolls in ..I feel the [Dm]devil.. by my side
[A] My watch don't work no more.. I Just [Dm]want to run and hide
[Bm] Locked in these chains today Im [Dm]stuck here high and dry
And theres [Bm] nothing I can [A] do!!!!
When the cold rain[Dm] falls...I look for shelter inside
Praying for the [Gm] sun...To get me warm and [Dm]dry
Turning round and [A7]round...I'm at the mercy of the [Dm] tide
The mercy of the [Bm] tide..Im at the mercy of the [Dm]tide
I can't see the [A7] light..I cant see the [Dm] light
The mercy of the [Bm tide..Im at the mercy of the [Dm]tide
I can't see the [A7] light..I cant see the [Dm] light (repeat and fade)
