I've been trapped in a web of lies

By the Lord above (By the Lord above)

God of mercy, thank you for saving me

GOD OF MERCY, THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME

This one began as a "Baker & Wilson" song and became part of The Doomsday Preachers songlist. It's a fun, bluesy, rock & roll number. 12 bars in E - what could be simpler?

Some pointers:

The song leader sings each line and the group repeats (as shown in brackets). Sections in UPPER CASE are sung by song leader and group together.

The midi demo and sheet music give the starting tune for first and later verses. The song leader should feel free to add lib with the tune to express the various verses, with the group following his/her lead.

Feel free to slot in solos and repeat the first verse as a chorus as desired.
