Kyrie eleison

Lyrics
Lord, an orphan born, a god begot not made. Lord have mercy. Lord, in your engine spins a black and oily heart. Lord have mercy. Lord, through you all things are made and they fall apart. Lord have mercy. Christ, remind me how you died sometimes I can’t recall. Christ have mercy. Christ, three times I have denied that I admire your life. Christ have mercy. Christ, your sacrifice of grace, betrayals, and violent crimes. Christ have mercy. Lord, once more a mortal fears a virus or a war. Lord have mercy. Lord, your fiery sword appears and knows the hearts of all. Lord have mercy. Lord, console this sorrowed soul. Son and Holy Ghost and Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy on me. Lord have mercy.

Chords
not sure
Gabe's first guess
it sounds to me like you're playing mainly two strings, so i'm making some leaps here by assuming full chords that may or may not be what you had in mind. the harmonic ambiguity is one of the things that makes it wonderful, so i'm sorry if trying to nail it down wrings all the mystery out of it. but that's all i know how to do.
f# E d#0 E D A/C# D D E7 A (last time) D d#0 D d#0 D E7 f07 f# [D E7, suspensions] A
