Grace - The Choir
Speckled Bird

Em              D
Screamin' at the newsman,
A
Tellin' him to take it back.
C                   G
I'll sue him if he won't retract.
Em             D
Cryin' to the hangman,
A/C#            A
Beggin' him to render slack.
C             G               Gsus4  G
If I could I would go back.

          Gsus4     G
Will you extend me,
          Gsus4  G   D
Will you extend me grace.
        C
Just a little grace.
          Gsus4     G
Will you extend me,
          Gsus4  G   D
Will you extend me grace.
        C
Just a little grace.


Were you talkin' to the shrubbery
Did you cut the roses down
Someone oughta till that ground
You thought I had a pure heart, well
I thought you were an angel, girl
Mercy is the silver pearl


Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace
Just a little grace...

A          D
My mother deems me ever dear
A           D
I'm less a liar than sincere


When you cut me in the alley-way
You don't have to turn that knife
I'll suffer in the after life
Prayin' to the Father
Sorry, did I grieve the Ghost
C                 G              *
You're the one I love the most
