Snake Hill chords by Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band
Guitar chords with lyrics
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
