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

                               F#m          A

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

                G    D

So he gave it a name

                G    D

So he gave it a name

                G A  D | G | D | G | D

So he gave it a name 



                 G                D

Billy got drunk, angry at his wife

                 G

He hit her once, he hit her twice

                     F#m                        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

                G A  D | G | D | G | D | G | D | G | D | G | D | G | D

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"

                         F#m                      A

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



| A | G | D | G | D | G | A | D | G...





 D  G  F#m A
