"Have Mercy on the Criminal" is a song by Elton John released on his 1973 album, ''Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player''. It is the most frequent live-track on the album besides the two dominating singles, "Daniel" and "Crocodile Rock". ==Musical structure== The song is one of only two songs from the album that features orchestration. Long-time Elton accomplice, Paul Buckmaster was responsible for the arrangement.〔 It opens unusually in the middle of a Crescendo, before ending with a Snare drum-hit that segues into a slow-paced dramatic ballad, that lasts for the rest of the song. Featured is also a blistering guitar solo. Upon introducing the song during his orchestral tour of Australia in 1986, he stated that "no one did arrangements like this in those days", claiming "that's why Buckmaster was so great". It is believed to be one of Elton's personal favourites, with both staple and occasional performances in most every tour. Author Mary Anne Cassata praises the song as a "breakthrough stunner," particularly praising Buckmaster's "tense" arrangement and John's "desperate" vocals.〔 Elton John biographer David Buckley believes the song's guitar riff was influenced by that of Derek and the Dominoes' "Layla."
