transcribed by Greg 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 CD (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.
