Crooked Fingers - Here Come The Snakes Tabbed By: Joshua Barclay-Wiltse ALL FINGERPICKING This is the basic progression. I'm sure Eric is using an alternate tuning for the studio but I don't know what it is so I just did the song in standard. Intro Am G Verse Am Em F C F Am F G Dim the lanterns, kill the lights, let's leave tonight to hide away Am Em F C F Am F G To take cold comfort in the dark, and leave our hearts behind to wait F G C F We'll tear away these dreadful skins that we must shed to start again F G C F The evil things that we can do are easy if you think them through F G Em F Are easy if you can pretend G F So shut your windows lock your doors G F Here come the snakes you best be sure G F To keep your conscience bolted tight G Cause they'll be lying, waiting C G Am F Coiled up in the corner the devil never dies C G F G Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night C G Am F Well you say you're an angel, but I say you're a liar C G F G Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire (and so forth for the rest of the song) So keep your shadow out of sight the time is right to hide away To keep your conscience frozen numb the time has come don't be afraid We'll tear away these dreadful skins that we must shed to start again The sickest thing they did to you the did because you let them through The did because you let them in So shut your windows lock your doors Here come the snakes you best be sure To keep your conscience bolted tight 'Cause they'll be lying waiting Coiled up in the corner a devil never dies Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night You say you're an angel but I say you're a liar 'Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire I know you've been burning we both know there's no light So dim the lanterns so we don't see the darkness of this night
