Snakebite Audra Mae
Intro: Am
[Am]I heard about the venom
[C]At a broke down Five and Dime
[Dm]The rain cried down the window
[E]Just like those tears of mine
[Am]Just then a gray haired woman
[C]Sat down right next to me
[Dm]She heard me cry and looked in my eye
[E]And said, "Baby, I got what you need"
[Dm]You need a snakebite
And once you g[Am]et that venom in your veins
[Dm]They'll come alive
I know just w[Am]hat you go through every day
[C]That pain inside, I can m[E]ake it right
[Am]With the snakebite
[Am]She handed me a map with streets
[C]I said, "I've never seen"
[Dm]And she told me, "My friend, this town has secrets
[E]Darker than you could ever dream"
[Am]I went to some back alley
[C]Behind a liquor store
[Dm]If someone had told me how tight it would hold me
[E]I never would have open the door
[Dm]I got the snakebite
And once I [Am]had that venom in my veins
[Dm]I came alive
Oh, you don't know w[Am]hat I go through everyday
[C]The pain inside, I'm gonna m[E]ake it right
[Am]With the snakebite
[Dm]My momma told me
Baby, be wary of [Am]evil ones
Who want to ensnare the h[Dm]eavy hearted
Into their webs and f[Am]eed upon their souls
Oh mom[E]ma, I hope you never know
[Am]It hasn't been a year now
[C]And all my hair is gray
[Dm]You know, it's funny
But I d[E]on't remember my own name
[Am]I'd go and hurt that woman
[C]Who put this pain in me
[Dm]But my heart is weak, it wants that venom
[E]She comes around 'cause she knows I need
[Dm]The snakebite
Oh, I gotta [Am]get that venom in my veins
[Dm]To feel alive
Oh, you don't know w[Am]hat I go through every day
[C]This pain inside, I'm gonna m[E]ake it right
[Dm]With the snakebite
Oh, I gotta get that ve[Am]nom in my veins
[Dm]And come alive
Oh, you don't know w[Am]hat I go through every day
[C]That pain inside, I'm gonna m[E]ake it right
[Am]With the snakebite
[E]Oh, I got the snakebi[Am]te
