Grace Lyrics

Grace - The Choir
Speckled Bird
Screamin' at the newsman,
Tellin' him to take it back.
I'll sue him if he won't retract.
Cryin' to the hangman,
Beggin' him to render slack.
If I could I would go back.
Will you extend me,
Will you extend me grace.
Just a little grace.
Will you extend me,
Will you extend me grace.
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...
My mother deems me ever dear
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
You're the one I love the most
repeat chorus
*starting at this C chord there is one bar of 5/4,
then one of 4/4, leading then into the chorus.
Gsus4 : 320013
A/C# : X42220
