Chorus:
A#    E           Am   F
On my way back to one
Bm7-5   E           Am    F#m F
Half asleep with a loaded gun
      E           Am        G  F#m7
In a room with a light bulb sun

A#maj7    E7          Am   F
Ain't no place for to hide
Bm7-5 E         Am        F#m  F
At an orgy of grooms and brides
         E           Am     G
At the scene of the suicides

Dm
Follow me
F              Esus4
See my silver trails
Dm
Blessed be
F                     A
When is a snake a tail?
F                 A
I am the silver snail

On my way back to one
On my way back to seventh son
Then I count to a million

He will awake from his dreams
Find his way in these honey beams
Find a way to the cream of creams

Silver spoons
For my silver snails
Black harpoons
For the killer whales
I am the silver snail
