C Em C Em Bm Em G C D Bm C D Bm G C Bm C Em Verse 1: Em D Em Meet me by the coppice stool, D Em Before the night takes back its jewels. D Em Bring your life of memo-ries, D Em Be-fore they sink into the seas. Chorus 1: G Snakes, C Em Are coming to your town. D C In tun-nels under-ground, D C Some travelling over-ground. D G A plague for our mis-takes, C Em They'll be right next to you. D C Snakes, up again-st me too, D C There'll be nothing to do. D C Em When the rat-tle sha-kes. Instrumental 1: Bridge: D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em D Em Verse 2: Em D Em One more glass and then we're dry, D Em Say some words, I'll write them down. D Em Feel the coup-lets deep inside.

"I'm not a jammer," said guitarist Joey Santiago, "but Black Francis and I started jamming it out. I had this little idea and I did that sliding guitar just to emulate a snake."…” http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=31879
