# "Give It A Day"
# by Pavement
#
DF#
Increase Mather told her dad, yeah
BmA
"I roundly disagree with you
GGm
Your vocal style's to preachy
D
All the yokels mock your teaching."
DF#BmA
But Cotton, he was just so oblivious
GGmD
To all their cutting pleas
DF#
Soon the townfolk took to it,
BmA
In every pew they looked to him
GGm
For guidance just like eyeless lambs
D
Awaiting that ol' kebab stand
D
The skeptics formed
F#
The nation's born
BmA
They want to have it, Cotton's dream
GGm
But Increase had them mounted
D
And they burned on open fires
BmAG
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
DF#
Years and years have passed
BmAG
Since the puritans invaded our soul
GmD
Just like those arab terrorists.. you'll never know
DF#
But today the gods can't make us quake,
BmA
We see our lives as situations
GGm
Eyes are eyes and teeth are teeth,
D
Well mine are rotten underneath
BmAGF#E
I got two ways we can separate from the clan
GA#CD
If I could fly...I...could...fry
DF#BmAG
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
DF#Bm
Your father is another one of them
A
I don't wanna mention him again, cause
GGm
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?
GF#EG
What did you do to him to make him think...?
