I noticed there wasn't any tab for Dan Bern's "Eva", which is one of my favorite songs, so I decided to make
one.
Capo on 1
The sDermon at a church on GHollywood ABouleDvard
Is on Adam and the GFall of AMan
Now I Dknow exactly Gwhat they Amean
I fDeel a lot like Adam myGself these Adays
DFalling to the ground in a G'68 AFord
DFalling from grace in the Geyes of the ALord
Now I Dthink if I had to Glive outside the Agarden of Dparadise
It Gmight as well be Aspent looking Din your eyes
The Glies might aAs well Dbe your lies
The Gthighs might Aas well Dbe your thighs
It Gmight as well Abe with DEva
It Gmight as well Abe with Dyou
G A
I Dwander the streets and I Gwonder if there's Asomething I should Ddo
To prepare for the Glife to Acome
Maybe DI should fall to my Gknees and tAry to reDpent
For the gifts that Gcame and Awent
I'm Dfalling to the ground in a Gdevil disAguise
DFalling from grace in the Gangel's Aeyes
Now I Dthink if I had to Glive as oAne of God's fDallen ones
It Gmight as well be Aspent lying Din the sun
With Gyour lips Atelling me ID'm the one
Your fGingers sAhooting me lDike a gun
It Gmight as well Abe with EDva
It Gmight as well Abe with
D#Eva's A#such a Flucky A#girl
FShe don't hCave a caD#re in the woCrld
D#She sets A#fire to the Ffoot of her A#bed
FLeaves the Crighteous sD#haking their hCeads
DI won't be attending the Gsermon at the cAhurch this DSunday
On Adam and the GFall of AMan
I Dthink I could dGeliver that Amessage
As Dgood as any preacher in GHollyAwood
I'm fDalling to the ground in a Gfiery Ahole
DFalling with the rest of my Gimmortal Asoul
Now I Dthink if I gotta spend Geternity oAutside DEden's gate
It Gmight as Awell be Dworth the wait
So if Gyou're the one Abuttering the Dbread on my plate
Then to Ghell and bAack I'll rDoller skate
It Gmight as well Abe with DEva
It Gmight as well Abe with DEva
It Gmight as well Abe with DEva
(Just keep repeating G A D for the rest of the song)
