This transcription is not my own work; it was contributed to the site by another Caedmon's Call fan.

I haven't had a lot of time for guitar recently, but this is one of several tabs that various nice people have sent me. I haven't reviewed or editted them, so no guarantees about accuracy, but I'm sure people will find them useful. If you have transcribed a Caedmon's Call or derek webb song that's not already on this site, please feel free to send it in to be shared here.

   "Be Merciful to Me"
 (Caedmon’s Call/ Randall Goodgame ‘06/ Henry Baker [PubDom 1868]/ key of  D/ capo 3 )

 Note: This is in my key (F, with a capo), and I don't think in the Caedmon's Call one.
