"Give It A Day"
by Pavement
D F#
Increase Mather told her dad, yeah
Bm A
"I roundly disagree with you
G Gm
Your vocal style's to preachy
D
All the yokels mock your teaching."
D F# Bm A
But Cotton, he was just so oblivious
G Gm D
To all their cutting pleas
D F#
Soon the townfolk took to it,
Bm A
In every pew they looked to him
G Gm
For guidance just like eyeless lambs
D
Awaiting that ol' kebab stand
D
The skeptics formed
F#
The nation's born
Bm A
They want to have it, Cotton's dream
G Gm
But Increase had them mounted
D
And they burned on open fires
Bm A G
So the word spread just like small pox
F# E
In the Sudan
G
The gentry cried:
over D F# Bm A G Gm (verse chords): "Give it a day!" x6 D F# Years and years have passed Bm A G Since the puritans invaded our soul Gm D Just like those arab terrorists.. you'll never know D F# But today the gods can't make us quake, Bm A We see our lives as situations G Gm Eyes are eyes and teeth are teeth, D Well mine are rotten underneath Bm A G F# E I got two ways we can separate from the clan G Bb C D If I could fly...I...could...fry D F# Bm A G And I hope you profited from this bulletin Gm And it stabilized your land D You're drenched, you're fired, your Alzheim clan, but D F# Bm Your father is another one of them A I don't wanna mention him again, cause G Gm I talked to him last night, D He hates my guts We had a fight Bm And he called you a slut girl, A Why's that? G F# E G
