I haven't seen any replies so I'll take a shot at it. This song (Texts of songs ) uses a
simple four chord progression: Emaj7 - C#m7 - F#m7 - Amaj7.
Mercy Mercy Me
==============
Marvin Gaye
Verse 1:
Emaj7 Emaj7
Ah, mercy, mercy me,
C#m7 C#m7 F#m7
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
F#m7
Where did all the blue skies go?
Amaj7 Amaj7
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east.
Verse 2:
Mercy, mercy me,
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no.
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon
our seas fish full of mercury,
Verse 3:
Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no, no, no.
Radiation underground and in the sky;
animals and birds who live near by are dying.
Verse 4:
Oh, mercy, mercy me.
Ah, things ain't what they used to be.
What about this over crowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
