Intro

D D D Asus A Asus G (x2)

Verse 1

Have mercy baby   
I'm descending again     
Open your eyes, babe     
This time it's sink or it's swim 
No sermons on ascending   
No verdict on deceit     
No selfish memorandum    
No confusion for me     

Chorus

Curses
Curses and clues
A feast for fools

Instrumental break

D D D Asus A Asus G (x2)

Verse 2

Have mercy baby       
And hand me downs       
It was just a few years ago   
You'd hand me ups and map   
Right out of town     
But I would let it slide    
Like mercury      
Silver and quick, babe  
Poisonous and deadly     
So deadly      

Chorus

Curses
Curses and clues
A feast for fools

Repeat intro

D D D Asus A Asus G (x2)
-----
Walk down from the D to the Asus by way of a transitional "chord" inserted at the asterisk:
D D D * Asus A Asus G
Here is what you should play between the D and the Asus:
E|-
B|3
G|-
D|-
A|x
E|x
Basically, just keep your third finger in place on the B string in between the D and Asus chords.
