Gave It A Name - Bruce Springsteen


| C | F | C | F | C | F | C | F | C


In the fields of the lord
       F              C
Stood Abel and Cain

                F
Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain

                                Am             G
At night he couldn't stand the guilt or the blame

                 F      C
So he gave it a name

                 F      C
So he gave it a name

                F G  C | F | C | F | C
So he gave it a name

                  F                  C
Billy got drunk, angry at his wife

                  F
He hit her once, he hit her twice

                      Am                           G
At night he'd lie in bed, he couldn't stand the shame

                 F      C
So he gave it a name

                 F      C
So he gave it a name

                F G  C | F | C | F | C | F | C | F | C | F | C | F | C
So he gave it a name

                            F               C
Pa told me "Son, one thing I know is true

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

                          Am                         G
At night I can feel that poison runnin' 'round my veins
