The other version is almost right but here is the correct tabs.
   
        G
I was born on Snake Hill
             C
And that's where I'll probably die
               G
Cuz I don't like to kill
                     Em
But I've got poison in my bite
         Bm
Well, I feel safe to say
      C                                                                   G
That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
    G                                                           C
My mother told me, "Son, you've got strychnine in your blood
     G                                                 D
It comes from pedigree ancestry"
      Am
She warned me not to leave
           C
Said my concience was too deep
             G
That when I bite
          D                          G
It would hurt mostly me
 G
For many many years
     C
I stayed up on that hill
   G                                                     D
Occasionally I'd go down to the edge
    Em
To see what I could see
       C                                          G
So curiosity got the best of me

       C                                      G
Its a big world and it's not fair to me
            C                                          G
To have to stay when there's so much to see
                 C                           G                            D
I want to play with others that I need to meet
 Am              C                  G
Poison will be poison until it's through

G
Soon I hit the world
       C
I discovered that a girl
       G                                                               D               
Was what my mother tried to hide from me
                   G
She could make you feel alive
                   C
She could make you want to die
                  G             D                         G
And that's exactly what she did to me


                    G
And it was only self defence
           C
And I coiled up and I bit
   G                                              Em
I let my venom run into her veins
           Bm                                      C
And I sat and watched her die to me
            G
Then I realized 
          G
I was born on Snake Hill
                  C
And that's where I'll probably die
       G
Cuz I don't like to kill
                    Em
But I've got poison in my bite
         Bm
Well, I feel safe to say
       C                                                                G
That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
                C                                     G
And it's a big world and it's not fair to me
                   C                                   G
To have to stay when there's so much to see
               C                                      G                   D
I want to play with others that I need to meet


         Am                    C                          G   
And poison will be poison until it's through
 Am                   C                          G   
Poison will be poison until it's through
 Am                   C                          G         D
Poison will be poison until it's through
 Am                   C                          G   
Poison will be poison until it's through
