Tabbed by: Mike Velonas  mvelonas@hotmail.com



7th Position E chord, 9th position F# throughout, except during low part.
“->” means slide.

E -> F#  A                             E
           Well I’m a snake oh yes I’m very smart

E -> F#  B                           D  
           But I was cruel without a humble start

E -> F#  D                     B                             A
           And I just lay here   when you begged and you pleaded

D  A         D               B                 D
      Now  I lay here cut in half because I am not the one you needed


E -> F#  A                                  E
           So pretty and so tender that’s a rabbits way

E -> F#  B                          D  
           A little pessimistic but that’s okay

E -> F#  D                     B                             A
           A pig or goat well    they gonna let you be mistreated

D  A       D             B          D
      So I geuss on that note  I am not the one you needed


(single notes in small letters)

a g# g F#
          well they call me the snake

          I’m just feeling my way

b  a  E   F   F#   B    F#   B   F#   B   F#   E -> F#
