***THE SNAKE WITH EYES OF GARNET - by Shane MacGowan
from the album "The Snake"
The Snake With Eyes Of Garnet - as performed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes
Last Dnight as I lay Bmdreaming
My Dway across the Bmsea
James DMangan brought me Bmcomfort
With laudGnum and Dpoitin
He flew me back to BmDublin
In D18Bm19
DTo a public exeBmcution
Being Gheld on Stephen's DGreen
The Dyoung man on the Bmplatform
Held his Dhead up and he did Bmsing
Then he wDhispered hard into my Bmear
As he Ghanded me this Dring
If you Dmiss me on the Bmharbour
For the Dboat, it leaves at Bmthree
Take this Dsnake with eyes of Bmgarnet
My Gmother gave to Dme!
This snake cannot be captured
This snake cannot be tied
This snake cannot be tortured, or
Hung or crucified
It came down through the ages
It belongs to you and me
So pass it on and pass it on
'Till all mankind is free
If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me"
He swung, his face went purple
A roar came from the crowd
But Mangan laughed and pushed me
And we got back on the cloud
He dropped me off in London
Back in this dying land
But my eyes were filled with wonder
At the ring still in my hand
If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
And if you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
