Serpent Charmer

 



Em                    Em 
There's a woman hater with a broken record player 
Em                         Em 
And a dusty compass off to map the country's new behavior 

 
G       Bm           D/F#            Em 
Strange words and we all roll back into the river 
G          Bm          D/F#           Em 
With brave boys in the empty coats of men 


Em                       Em 
There's a kitchen timer, distractions, and reminders 
Em                          Em 
That the roly-polies slowly crawling 'cross your family china 


G       Bm           D/F#            Em 
Strange words and we all roll back into the river 
G        Bm        D/F#           Em 
And dead dogs only want to live a-gain 

Funky Banjo Bridge - riffing on that 4p2 the guitar is doing 
Em 


Em                         Em 
There's a serpent charmer, and a pair of shoes and wander 
Em                         Em 
A speeding ticket, you got leading that last lamb to slaughter 

 
G       Bm           D/F#            Em 
Strange words and we all roll back into the river 
G    Bm             D/F#            Em 
Good girls come and kick you in the shin 


Em                       Em 
There's a hopeful hunter with a helpless sense of wonder 
Em                              Em 
And a million claw marks on the rock, he hid his money under 


G       Bm           D/F#            Em 
Strange words and we all roll back into the river 
G        Bm       D/F#           Em 
And made men only want to live a-gain
