[Verse 1]

      D                                G
I was standing in line at the city bus stop
D                                  A
Soaked to the skin from ev'ry rain drop
  D                                      G
I see you driving by just like a phantom jet
          D               A         D
With your arm around some little brunette


[Verse 2]

    D                                            G
You say you won't be home because you're working late
D                                        A
Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date
    D                                       G
The lipstick on your collar gives the game away
     D                         A      D
It's strawberry red and mine's pink rose


[Chorus]

     D        G
Have mercy on me
     D                         A
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
     D                            G
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
D               A        D
Baby, baby have mercy on me


[Instrumental]

(Repeat Riff)


[Verse 3]

       D                        G
Well I called you up on the telephone
         D                               A
I could hear you was playin' Haggard and Jones
  D                                        G
I knew right then that there was something wrong
        D                        A        D
There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs


[Chorus]

     D        G
Have mercy on me
     D                         A
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
     D                            G
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
D               A        D
Baby, baby have mercy on me


[Instrumental]

(Repeat Riff)


[Verse 4]

D                                     G
Went to the bank with my little check book
    D                                A
The cashier he gave me the strangest look
            D                                     G
He said you ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn
     D                      A        D
Your man took it all and he's done gone


[Chorus]

     D        G
Have mercy on me
     D                         A
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
     D                            G
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
D               A        D
Baby, baby have mercy on me


[Chorus]

     D        G 
Have mercy on me
     D                         A
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
     D                            G
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
D               A        D
Baby, baby have mercy on me
