Blacksnake

Gm D7 Gm D7 Gm My blacksnake and my donkey keep the predators at bay Gm The coyotes and the copperheads stay well enough away Cm The power that protects me is a circle made of salt Gm But when you come to get me I won’t feel a thing at all Eb F The vultures that surround me ride the thermals up on high Gm D7 Yeah, ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die Gm The scarab on my pillow whispers vespers as I sleep Gm You saved me from the sparrows now my soul is yours to keep Cm Come morning we awaken to a garnet colored sky Gm The mirror cracked and broken making exes of my eyes Eb F Can't turn away the darkness so instead I hold you tight Gm D7 Yeah, ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die Eb Cm Light the fire Cm Bb Gm Sing the song Eb Cm Hit the high hat Cm Bb Gm Kick the drum Eb Cm Secret language Cm Bb Gm On the tongue Eb D7 Something wicked Gm D7 This way comes Gm D7 Gm Eb There’s a light without any heat Eb Cm It shines just for me, my love Cm D7 Shines just for me Gm Eb There’s a night without a moon Eb Cm It comes just for you, my love Cm D7 Comes just for you Gm (There's a light) My blacksnake and my donkey keep the predators at bay Eb (Without any heat) The coyotes and the copperheads stay well enough away Cm (It shines just for me, my love) The power that protects me is a circle made of salt D7 (Shines just for me) But when you come to get me I won't feel a thing at all Gm (There's a night) The scarab on my pillow whispers vespers as I sleep Eb (Without a moon) You saved me from the sparrows now my soul is yours to keep Cm (It comes just for you, my love) Come morning we awaken to a garnet colored sky D7 (Comes just for you) The mirror cracked and broken making exes of my eyes Eb Cm Light the fire Cm Bb Gm Sing the song Eb Cm Hit the high hat Cm Bb Gm Kick the drum Eb Cm Secret language Cm Bb Gm On the tongue Eb D7 Something wicked Gm D7 This way comes Gm D7 Gm Heat haze on the highway there’s a shimmer in the air Gm Out on the horizon there’s a figure standing there Cm Strange hallucinations as the sky is growing thin Gm From the corners of my vision see the shadows closing in Eb F Is it just sleep deprivation or the ergot on the rye Gm D7 Yeah ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die Gm D7 Ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die Gm D7 Ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die Gm D7 Ever since you found me I'm afraid that I might die
