The Snakes Crawl At Night

A                                 
The snakes crawl at night, That's 
          D    A
what they say,
                  E             
When the sun goes down, Then the 
             A
snakes will play,


I watched that car pull into my 
driveway,
Saw a shadow slip away from my 
E
house,
       A                           
Then I hurried straight and looked 
   D
in her room,
    A               E      A
And found it was my loving spouse,

A                                 
The snakes crawl at night, That's 
          D    A
what they say,

                  E             
When the sun goes down, Then the 
             A
snakes will play,


So I waited in the shadows until 
morning,
And the gun I held was trembling in 
   E
my hand,
      A                            
No, I did not plan to give them any
 D
 warning,
        A           E            
For the devil on my shoulder had 
A
command,

A                                 
The snakes crawl at night, That's 
          D    A
what they say,
                  E             
When the sun goes down, Then the 
             A
snakes will play,


Oh, the trial in a little while, was
 over,
And they sentenced me to die right 
E
away,
    A                            
But before I leave this courtroom 
              D
please, your honor,
        A                   E     
There's something more that I 
          A
would like to say,

A                                 
The snakes crawl at night, That's 
          D    A
what they say,
                  E             
When the sun goes down, Then the 
             A
snakes will play,
