Gavin chords by Pain

Chords with lyrics

Album: Wonderful Beef (1997)
Note: I like to play this song with suspended second chords. It kind of gives it a
dreamy, singer-songwriter-ish sound... but then again, that's not what most people reading
this tab are looking for, I assume.

D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G     A augmentedA
It's not the number of times he tried to
D MajorD      A augmentedA      G+G
But the one time that he did.
D MajorD      A augmentedA     G+G        A augmentedA
I once told him to beware of things to come,
D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G
But I was the one who should be scared.
D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G     A augmentedA
All the police and handcuffs didn't bother him.
D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G
He's sure that God would understand.
D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G     A augmentedA
Oh, the killings in the convent hall.
D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G
The cleaning bill was outrageous.

[chorus]

Gavin killed a nun:
   G+G       A augmentedA          D MajorD
"She had it coming and she got what she deserved."
D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA
God helps those who help themselves.
D MajorD    A augmentedA       G+G      A augmentedA
All the kids at recess rallied for his cause.
D MajorD    A augmentedA       G+G      A augmentedA
The paid their lunch money for his bail.

D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G     A augmentedA
For all the times he tried to do it
D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G
Well he finally got it right.
D MajorD      A augmentedA         G+G     A augmentedA
All the kids in school just think of Gavin
       D MajorD         G+G
As a folk hero because school's let out all day.

E minor 7Em7  G+G           D MajorD        G+G
Sister Mary's yardstick once broke on Gavin's hand,
E minor 7Em7            G+G
But now Gavin's set things right.
E minor 7Em7  G+G           D MajorD        G+G
Sister Mary's yardstick once broke on Gavin's hand,
E minor 7Em7         G+G              D MajorD  A augmentedA
  G+G   A augmentedA
But now Gavin's sent Sister Mary to the promised l----a----n----d.
D MajorD   A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA
To the promised land!
