The Snakes Crawl at Night 
 
Chorus: 
 
A5
The snakes crawl at night, 
                 D5    A5 
That's what they say,  
                  E5
When the sun goes down, 
                     A5
Then the snakes will play, 
 
I watched that car pull into my driveway, 
                               E5 
Saw a shadow slip away from my house, 
       A5                              D5
Then I hurried straight and looked in her room , 
    A5               E5      A5
And found it was my loving spouse, 
 
Repeat Chorus 
   
So I waited in the shadows until morning, 
                                       E5
And the gun I held was trembling in my hand, 
      A5                             D5
No, I did not plan to give them any warning, 
        A5           E5            A5
For the devil on my shoulder had command, 
 
Repeat Chorus 
                               
Oh, the trial in a little while, was over, 
                                   E5
And they sentenced me to die right away, 
    A5                                          D5
But before I leave this courtroom please, your honor, 
        A5                   E5               A5  
There's something more that I would like to say,
