Chords for The Easter Brothers "Ain't Gonna Handle No Snake" (1979) radio single

[A] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ For many years I've traveled this land, _ _ _ playing and a singing in a gospel band. _ _
[D] I went to a church just the other [F#] _ [D] day, _ [A] set up the music, got it ready to play. _ _
_ Well, I had my prayer like a Christian should, _ _ it raised my head and I felt so good. _ _
_ [D] Lo and behold, the first thing I see, _ _ a big rattlesnake [G] looking straight [A] at me. _
[Bm] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [D] [A] Well, I jumped to my feet and I broke to run.
_ _ A [E] big rope [A] boy said, wait a minute son, _ _ [D] get out of my way for goodness sake.
_ _ You ain't going nowhere till you handle that [A] snake. _ _ _ _ _
I run to the back and I run to the front. _ _ _
All I could do was a holler and run. _ _
I'd [D] give anything, I'm telling you. _ _
Just a little hole big [A] enough to get through. _ _ _
_ _ Well, I've been just about everywhere.
_ _ I've met everything from a skunk to a bat.
_ _ _ [D] Nothing I saw ever [Am] made me shame.
_ [D] _ Like a close up [A] from a big old snake.
_ _ _ _ _ Well, the window was small but I tried it anyhow.
_ _ I couldn't quite get through but it's big enough now.
_ _ [D] I run to my bus and I put [Am] it in [D] gear.
_ I said, Lord help me to [G] get away [A] from here. _ _ _ _ _
Now all you gospel singing guys, _ _ watch out for a snake with little green eyes. _ _
[D] He's got a piece of cloth in his little white tooth. _
That belonged on the seat of my dark [A] blue suit. _ _ _
_ _ _ Now I've been just about everywhere.
_ _ _ I've met everything from a skunk to a bear.
_ _ _ [D] Give me anything but for goodness sake.
_ _ Tell you right now I'm going to [A] handle no snake.
Uh uh, [Am] _ no way.
_ [A] Uh uh.
_ Tell you right now.
