Mercy,Mercy,Mercy.....help

Does any one have the tab for this song. I saw Sam Bush play it on a Firebird in Lou Ky and fell in love with it

Here's a simple arrangement

In C. (Disclaimer: I hate TAB, but here it is anyway.) ;-)

Play this three times, holding the bass notes and other chord tones while you play the pull-offs (p).

-----5(p)3------------------------
-----3-----5-----3(p)1--1---1--3
-----3-------5---2---------2-----
-----2------------1---------------
--3-------------------------------
------------------1---------------

Then this twice, with the rhythm "One two THREE-and..."

--0--0--1--1----3--3--1--1
--1--1--1--1----3--3--1--1
--0--0--2--2----3--3--2--2
-----------------------------
--3--3--3--3----3--3--3--3
-----------------------------

Then the walk-up in octaves

--------------------------8--8--8--8--8
---------5--5--6--6--8-----------------
--5--5-------------------5--5--5--5--5
---------2--2--3--3--5-----------------
--3--3----------------------------------
-----------------------------------------

repeat the first part

-------------------------
---------5--5--6--6--8-
--5--5------------------
---------2--2--3--3--5-
--3--3------------------
-------------------------

And finally

------------------------------------------------------------
--------------6--6---------8--8-----8--10--8--10--8--10
----------5-- 7--7--5--7--9--9--9------9-------9-------9
--5(h)7------7--7---------9--9--------10------10------10
-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

The chords are C9 – F13 (3x)
C7 F/C Gmin/C (2x)
(walk up)
Dmin Emin Amin

It's a great tune, have fun. :-) CS
