[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.

Draw my arms into my hospital gown.

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.

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.

Lead us to the beach by our hands,
C F G
And bury us there in the sand.
[Chorus]

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.
