The Snakes Crawl at Night
Chorus:
(A)The snakes crawl at night,
That's what they (D)say, (A)
When the sun goes (E)down,
Then the snakes will (A)play,
I watched that car pull into my driveway,
Saw a shadow slip away from my (E)house,
Then I (A)hurried straight and looked in (D)her room,
And (A)found it was my (E)loving (A)spouse,
Repeat Chorus
So I waited in the shadows until morning,
And the gun I held was trembling in my (E)hand,
No, I (A)did not plan to give them any (D)warning,
For the (A)devil on my (E)shoulder had (A)command,
Repeat Chorus
Oh, the trial in a little while, was over,
And they sentenced me to die right (E)away,
But (A)before I leave this courtroom please, your (D)honor,
There's (A)something more that (E)I would like to (A)say,
Repeat Chorus X2
