There in the midst of it so alive and alone
Words support like bone

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word
Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box
To the priest-he's the doctor, he can handle the shocks
Dreaming of the tenderness-the tremble in the hips
Of kissing Mary's lips
AB

Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street, swear they moved that sign
Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms

Modern Love
by Peter Gabriel
off Peter Gabriel (1977)
NOTE: I think Tony Levin used a 5-string (Music Man, no doubt) on this,
which would make the arpeggio-like run up to high C in the chorus
a bit easier. Then again, it's Tony Levin...

Hi,
First off I would like to thank you for providing this service. I had
all but given up on playing when I found this resource. This fresh input
has revived my love.
I noticed a request for Sledgehammer in the most-wanted list. I found
the following crd for this at another site. The originators address is
at the top. I attempted to contact him/her to see if they minded me
forwarding this to you but couldn't get mail through to that address. I
kinda figured if it was in a public ftp directory they might not mind it
being spread around. I am sending the file intact incase you or anyone
else wishes to attempt to contact him/her.
Again thanks for being there and doing all this for all of us.
Regards,
Christopher Martin (cmartin@martin.idi.oclc.org)
