Gave It A Name - Bruce Springsteen


| D | G | D | G | D | G | D | G | D


In the fields of the lord
       G              D
Stood Abel and Cain

                G
Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain

                                Bm             A
At night he couldn't stand the guilt or the blame

Billy got drunk, angry at his wife

                  G
He hit her once, he hit her twice

                      Bm                           A
At night he'd lie in bed, he couldn't stand the shame

                 G      D
So he gave it a name

                 G      D
So he gave it a name

So he gave it a name

                            G               D
Pa told me "Son, one thing I know is true

                         G
Poison snake bites you, you're poison too"

                          Bm                         A
At night I can feel that poison runnin' 'round my veins
