Attacked By Snakes

Em
Night falls and I'm taken by sleep
Em
Hot night air blows up balloons in my dreams
     B
Ding-dong rings the bell, something's at the door
     B
So I put on my slippers and I creep across the floor
           Em
Toward the door from hence I heard another ding dong
  Em
I peep through the door hole but something's very wrong
         B
As on my porch there are thousands of snakes
         B
Ready to strike, I feel queasy and my knees start to shake

   G                B
My perilous fate, I see no escape
   Em                       D
As serpents lay seige to my country estate
    G                             B
The Devil must have opened Hell's gate and called up
Em                            D#dim
Millions of snakes to take me from this place

Em                     Eb+
Big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones
D                     Db+
Protect me from their venomous drug
     C                           B
That springs from the needles of fangs
            Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
        Em
So many snakes you could fill the Great Lakes with snakes
      B
Ha ha ha, run, I try to hide
    B
But snake bites on my face testify I've been
            Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
        Em
So many snakes it would take a thousand crates
      B
To contain the snakes after me
              B
I'd rather be burned at the stake than be
            Em
Attacked by snakes

        Em
Welcome to my world, or should I say this land of snakes
Em
Serpents lie and wait, at every take my knees quake
      B
As my life these snakes invade
        B
Snake invaders show their fangs on the snake parade

   G                B
My perilous fate, I see no escape
      Em
As my family prays and waits
  D
I fight them off with shovels and rakes
    G                                        B
And bats and phones but I just can't seem to shake these bones
             Em                  D#dim
That slither from the dark to destroy my home

Em                     Eb+
Big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones
D                     Db+
Protect me from their venomous drug
     C                       B
That springs from needles of fangs
            Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
        Em
So many snakes you could fill the Great Lakes with snakes
      B
Ha ha ha, run, I try to hide
    B
But snake bites on my face testify I've been
            Em
Attacked by snakes, by snakes
        Em
So many snakes it would take a thousand crates
      B
To contain the snakes after me
              B
I'd rather be burned at the stake than be

Attacked by...

Am                     Dm
One snake, two snakes, are there any more?
G                E
There's two more knocking at my door...
