[D] [Am] [A]
[Am] [A] [F#] Don't want to run my [A] mage, want to use her for myself.
You know you caught me crawling, now [F#] baby, when the grass was very high.
[A] I'm just gonna keep on crawling, now baby, until the day I die.
Because I'm [F#] a crawling king snake, [A]
and I lose my head.
Come on and give me what I want, baby, and I won't call on [Am] you.

You know I'm going away, now baby, but I'll be back for long.
When I come to town, now baby, I'll be the [F#] same old snake again.
Because I'm a crawling king [A] snake, and I lose my head.
[F#] Come on and give me what I want, baby, [Am] and I won't call [A] no more.
Well, [Am] I'm crawling, yes, I'm crawling, now [A] baby, I'm crawling in front of your door.
You got anything I want, now baby, I'm gonna crawl up on your floor.
Because I'm a [F#] crawling king [A] snake, and I lose my head.
