In the fields of the lord

Stood Abel and Cain

Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain
Bm 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
Bm 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"

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