For The Snakes chords by The Mountain Goats

Intro:

Eb Eb Eb Eb

Verse 1:

Eb                            Ab      Eb
All your brambles, all your creeping vines
Eb                            Ab     Fm
All of the trash that people leave behind
         Ab          Bb               Eb              Ab
All your fine, fine columns poking up through the pond scum
              Ab             Bb            Eb
We will have uses for these things when we come

Verse 2:

Eb                              Ab            Eb
Cracks in the marble you hauled in from the quarry
Eb                           Ab          Fm
These will be seen by all in all their glory
Ab            Bb                        Eb   Ab
Long hidden shadows of the places they came from
               Ab                 Bb            Eb
We will bring memories of these things when we come


Bridge:

F#  Bb          Eb       Ab
    All your abandoned things
Db                     Eb
Once fine vestments, statues with wings
F#  Bb               Eb         Ab
    They have their uses, every one
Ab              Bb
Let me slither across them in the sun


Verse 3:

Eb                         Ab               Eb
Pale imitations that you brought back from afar
Eb       Ab                      Fm
We will show them to you as they are
Ab                Bb              Eb  Ab
Wind through the ruins, high and lonesome
              Ab              Bb            Eb
We will have uses for these things when we come
