Conor Oberst
Snake Hill
From the new album "Outer South"
(G)
I was born on Snake Hill
C
And that's where I'll probably die
G
Because I don't like to kill
Am
But I've got poison in my bite
G
Well, I feel safe to say
C G
That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
G C
My mother told me, "Son, you've got strychnine in your blood
G D
It comes from pedigree ancestry"
Am
She warned me not to leave
C
Said my concience was too deep
G
That when I bite
D G
It would hurt mostly me
G
For many many years
C
I stayed up on that hill
G D
Occasionally I'd go down to the edge
G
To see what I could see
C G
So curiosity got the best of me
C G
Its a big world and it's not fair to me
C G
To have to stay when there's so much to see
C G D
I want to play with others that I need to meet
Am C G
Poison will be poison until it's through
Soon I hit the world
I discovered that a girl
Was what my mother tried to hide from me
She could make you feel alive
She could make you want to die
And that's exactly what she did to me
And it was only self defense
And I coiled up and I bit
I let my venom run into her veins
And I sat and watched her die
Then I realized
I was born on Snake Hill
And that's where I'll probably die
