F#m      E              F#m
Meet me by the coppice stool,
            E                    F#m
Before the night takes back its jewels.
            E            F#m
Bring your life of memo-ries,
              E             F#m
Be-fore they sink into the seas.

Chorus:
A
Snakes,
     D              F#m
Are coming to your town.
    B              D
In tunnels under-ground,
       B               D
Some travelling over-ground.
    E                A
A plague for our mistakes,
         D               F#m
They'll be right next to you.
        B               D
Snakes, up against me too,
          B             D
There'll be nothing to do.
  E              F#m
When the rattle shakes.

One more blast and then we're dry
Say some words, I'll write them down
Seal the couplets deep inside

Chorus
