The Snakes Crawl At Night

• A

A                                           D    A 
The snakes crawl at night, That's what they say,  
                  E                          A 
When the sun goes down, Then the snakes will play, 


I watched that car pull into my driveway, 
                               E 
Saw a shadow slip away from my house, 
       A                              D   
Then I hurried straight and looked in her room, 
    A               E      A 
And found it was my loving spouse, 

A                                           D    A 
The snakes crawl at night, That's what they say,  
                  E                          A 
When the sun goes down, Then the snakes will play, 


So I waited in the shadows until morning, 
                                       E 
And the gun I held was trembling in my hand, 
      A                             D 
No, I did not plan to give them any warning, 
        A           E            A 
For the devil on my shoulder had command, 

A                                           D    A 
The snakes crawl at night, That's what they say,  
                  E                          A 
When the sun goes down, Then the snakes will play, 


Oh, the trial in a little while, was over, 
                                   E  
And they sentenced me to die right away, 
    A                                          D 
But before I leave this courtroom please, your honor, 
        A                   E               A               
There's something more that I would like to say, 

A                                           D    A 
The snakes crawl at night, That's what they say,  
                  E                          A 
When the sun goes down, Then the snakes will play,
