Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band - Snake hill

I was bo^Grn on Snake Hill And that's wh^Cere I'll probably die Cuz I don't lik^Ge to kill But I've got poison i^Emn my bite Well, I f^Bmeel safe to say That I^C should probably stay upon Snake Hill ^G My m^Gother told me, "Son, you've got strychnine in your bloo^Cd It co^Gmes from pedigree ancestry" ^D She wa^Amrned me not to leave Said my con^Ccience was too deep That when I b^Gite It would h^Durt mostly me ^G F^Gor many many years I sta^Cyed up on that hill Occ^Gasionally I'd go down to the edge ^D To s^Emee what I could see So curi^Cosity got the best of me ^G

Its a b^Cig world and it's not fair to me ^G To have to s^Ctay when there's so much to see ^G I want to play wi^Cth others that I need to mee^Gt ^D P^Amoison will be po^Cison until it's thr^Gough

^GSoon I hit the world I disco^Cvered that a girl Was wha^Gt my mother tried to hide from me ^D She could make you ^Gfeel alive She could make you ^Cwant to die And that's exactly^G what she did ^Dto me ^G

And it was only self^G defence And I coile^Cd up and I bit I l^Get my venom run into her veins ^Em And I sat a^Bmnd watched her die to me ^C Then I reali^Gzed I was born^G on Snake Hill And that's where I^C'll probably die Cuz I d^Gon't like to kill But I've got poison ^Emin my bite Well, I f^Bmeel safe to say That I ^Cshould probably stay upon Snake Hill ^G And it's a big w^Corld and it's not fair to me ^G To have to stay whe^Cn there's so much to see ^G I want to play ^Cwith others that I need to meet ^{G D}

And poiso^Amn will be poison until^C it's through ^G P^Amoison will be poison ^Cuntil it's through ^G P^Amoison will be poison ^Cuntil it's through ^{G D} P^Amoison will be poison ^Cuntil it's through ^G
