Snake Handler Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I swallow strychnine
As [F]the [C]ground moves all [Am]around me
It slithers and [Dm]writhes under my [Am]feet
Every step I take
I can [C]feel them break my [Am]skin
And yet I tread [Dm]unscathed
On the [C]serpents and [Am]scorpions
[Dm]Call it arrogance
Call it [Am]ignorance
But I [C]take them up
And I show [Am]no weakness
Their venom cannot
Find its [C]way through my vein[Am]s,
I take them up
[Dm]An d I f[C]eel no p[Am]ain
No devil or demon
Can withstand [C]my righteous [Am]tongue
I cast them out
[Dm]One by o[Am]ne
The enemy has no [C]power over me
[Am]Their mouths are filthy
[Dm]But the wa[C]ter washes m[Am]e clean
[Dm]Call it arrogance, call it [Am]ignorance
But I [C]take them up,
and I show [Am]no weakness
Their venom cannot find its
[C]way through my vein[Am]s
I take them [Dm]up, and I [C]feel n[Am]o pain

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am]
[Dm][C][Am][C]
[Am][Dm][C][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Time after time, [Am]again and again
Every [Dm]single one gives me life
But will the [E]next one be [Am]mine?
[Dm]Call it arrogance,
call it [Am]ignorance
But I [C]take them up
and I show [Am]no weakness
Their venom cannot find its
[C]way through my vein[Am]s
I take them up [Dm]and I f[C]eel [Am]no pain you
