Snake Song Chords by Townes Van Zandt

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, you can't hold me
I'm too slippery.
I
Do no sleeping.
_ I Get lonely
_ [A] Or you can touch [A] me
If you [Dm] want to
_ But I got poison.
I just might bite [Dm] you
_ _ _ alive circles
on the sunlight
_ [A]
shine like _ diamonds
on a [Dm] dark night
[A] Ain't no mercy
[A] in [Dm] my smiling _
only things then
sweet beguiling
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Well the [Dm] future he don't
Try to find me
[A] Skin of him through
[Dm] dies behind me
[A] Solid hollow
_ [E] Rapt in [Dm] hatred not a drop of _ [Dm] venom wasted
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You can slip in _
Try to find me
Hold your breath in
Flat deny me
It [A] makes no [Am] difference
[Dm] To my thinking
I'll be here when
You start sinking
[F] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
