SNAKE SONG ~ Townes Van Zandt cover

www.kappadanielson.com New FACEBOOK FAN page too!
This was a GREAT request from Martin....thanks for introducing me to this song....it was incredibly cool to cover...love it. :)

You can't hold me
I'm too slippery
I do no sleepin'
I get lonely
You can touch me
If you want to
I got poison
I just might bite you

Lie in circles
On the sunlight
Shine like diamonds
On a dark night
Ain't no mercy
In my smilin'
Only fangs and
Sweet beguiling

Future he don't
Try to find me
Skin I've been through
Dies behind me
Solid hollow
Wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of
Venom wasted

You can slip in
Try to find me
Hold your breath and
Flat deny me
It makes no difference
To my thinkin'
I'll be here when
You start sinkin'

do where i can find the tabs for the chord embellishments? fantastic job by the way!!

[Kappadanielson]

I just listened to the Townes version and made it up by ear...you can probably see where my fingers are on the fret board and copy that if you want...but I don't have a tab for it. It's in drop D tuning...so drop your top string from e to d to play this. @AllKindsaGirls

Your voice is the perfect remedy to a bad day. Thanks Kappa

[Kappadanielson]

@copper4534 That's just the most perfect compliment....:)) Thank you very much!!

[tattapja]

Great song!! ฺี why did you sit in the dark like that?

[Kappadanielson]

@tattapja he he...well..every now and again the artsy side of me wants to match the song to the setting...this is a dark song...it works pretty well I think....sets a tone. :)
