                           "Give It A Day"
DIncrease Mather F#told her dad, yeah
"I rBmoundly disaAgree with you
Your vGocal style's to prGmeachy
All the yDokels mock your teaching."
But CDotton, he was F#just so obBmliviAous
To Gall their cGmutting pDleas
DSoon the townfolk F#took to it,
In Bmevery pew they lAooked to him
For Gguidance just like Gmeyeless lambs
AwDaiting that ol' kebab stand
The sDkeptics formed
The nF#ation's born
They Bmwant to have it, CAotton's dream
But IGncrease had them mGmounted
And they bDurned on open fires
So the Bmword spread Ajust like Gsmall pox
F#In the SuEdan
The gentry Gcried:
over  D   F#   Bm   A   G   Gm(verse chords):
"Give it a day!" x6
DYears and years have F#passed
Since the pBmuritans invAaded our sGoul
Just like those Gmarab terroDrists.. you'll never know
But toDday the gods can't F#make us quake,
We Bmsee our lives as sAituations
GEyes are eyes and Gmteeth are teeth,
Well mDine are rotten underneath
I got Bmtwo ways Awe can Gseparate fF#rom the cElan
If I could Gfly..A#.I...Ccould...Dfry
ADnd I hope you F#profited Bmfrom this AbulleGtin
And it stabiGmlized your land
You're dDrenched, you're fired, your Alzheim clan, but
DYour father    F#is another one Bmof them
I don't wanna menAtion him again, cause
I Gtalked to him last Gmnight,
He hates my Dguts
We had a fight
And he called you a Bmslut girl,
AWhy's that?
GWhat did you F#do to Ehim to make him Gthink...?

"Give It A Day"

D F#

Increase Mather told her dad, yeah

Bm A

"I roundly disagree with you

G Gm

Your vocal style's to preachy

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

Awaiting that ol' kebab stand

The skeptics formed

The nation's born

Bm A

They want to have it, Cotton's dream

G Gm

But Increase had them mounted

And they burned on open fires

Bm A G

So the word spread just like small pox

F# E

In the Sudan

The gentry cried:

D F# Bm A G Gm

over (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,

Well mine are rotten underneath

Bm A G F# E

I got two ways we can separate from the clan

G A# C D

If I could fly...I...could...fry

D F# Bm A G

And I hope you profited from this bulletin

And it stabilized your land

You're drenched, you're fired, your Alzheim clan, but

D F# Bm

Your father is another one of them

I don't wanna mention him again, cause

G Gm

I talked to him last night,

He hates my guts

We had a fight

And he called you a slut girl,

Why's that?

G F# E G

What did you do to him to make him think...?
