If The Motif Is Right chords by
Eddie "Lockjaw"" Davis"
Eddie "Lockjaw"" Davis"

N/A
Verse 1
G

Good morning, sisters and brothers.

My sermon this morning is about sin.

And to begin with, I just want to say this.

Sin without reason is out of season,

and while it might be pleasing,

it is treason.

From the first chapter, verses 7 and 11,

I will now try to make my point.

Sin ain't me.

And to prove it,

it says right here in the book,

and I quote, Abram took Rachel

into the garden of Egypt

and gave her wine and nectar.

So listen to what I have to say

regarding sin.

It's amalgamation, consolidation,
Eb
G

and not forgetting a few donations.

If the motive is right, it ain't no sin.
D
G

If the motive is right, you gotta win.

Got a message for you, brother,

so get yourself set.

You've been mistreating women,

folks,

and that's something I regret.

I want you to know I'm for women,

yeah, as many as I can get.
Am
G

Listen to the reverend

and you can't go wrong.
D
G

If the motive is right, it ain't no sin
D

If the motive is right, jack you in
G

Go baptize you with champagne

instead of using water

Go take care of the farmers

just like I oughta

Yeah, go take care of the farmers

and the farmer's daughter

It ain't no sin, if the motive is right,

show your grin.

Brothers gamblin' and sinnin',

why go throwin' away

your wealth.

I'm gonna close up all

the gamblin' joints

and put them on the shelf.

Yeah, I'm gonna close them all up

and open one myself.

Listen to the reverend

and you can't go wrong,

if the motive is right.

drink your gin.
G

Go save all the bad boys

and show them what's right.

Save all the bad girls
G

and show them the light.
G

Yeah, go save all the bad girls
G

and one for Saturday night.

Listen to the reverend

and you can't go wrong.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
