Give It A Day Chords by Pavement

[E] _ Increase Mather told her [C#m] daddy I roundly [B] disagree [E] with you
[A] Your vocal style's too preachy, [E] all the yokels mock your teaching
Cotton [G#] was just so [C#m] _ [Bm] oblivious to [A] all their _ [E] cotting needs _
_ Soon the town [G#] folks looked to it [C#m] in every pew
[Bm] They looked to him [A] for guidance just like eyeless [E] lambs
Awaiting that old kibob stand
The skeptics [G#] formed the nation's [C#m] pawn
Want to [Bm] have a cotton stream
[A] But increase [Am] had them out to [E] them
They burned on open fire
[C#m] So the word [B] spread just [A] like [C#m] smallpox in the [F#] Sudan
_ The [A] century cried
[E] Give it a day, give it [G#m] a day, give it a [C#] day, give it [C#m] a day, [Bm] give it a day, give [A] it a day
_ _ [E] Given _ _ _ [G#m] years have passed [C#] since the [B] puritans invaded [G] our [A] soul
This life goes hand [E] in hand, you'll never [F#] know
[G#m] But [E] today the [G#] gods can't make us [C#m] quake
We see our [B] lives as [A] situations
Eyes and rattles and teeth are [E] teeth
My mind a rotten [C#m] underneath
I got two [B] ways
You [A] can't [C#m] separate from the [F#] plan
_ _ [A] Why you're a fly _
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] You're a bird
I [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] hope you [G#m] profited [C#m] from this [Bm] _
[Em] [A] bulletin
And stabilized your [E] language
And gentrified your Alzheimer's plan
But your [G#m] father is [C#m] another one of them
I don't [Bm] want to mention him again
[A] Because I talked to him last night
He [E] ate my guts
We had a fight and he called [C#m] you a slut
[Bm] Girl, why's [A] that?
What [G#] did you do [F#] to him?
[A] Make you think _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
