[Verse 1]
On her [Am]way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw
a [E]poor half frozen snake
His [Am]pretty colored skin had been
all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried,
"I'll take you in and [E]I'll take care of [Am]you"
"Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman",
[E]sighed the sna[Am]ke

[Verse 2]
She [Am]wrapped him up all cozy
in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with
some [E]honey and some milk
Now she [Am]hur ried home from work
that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd
taking [E]in had been re[Am]vived
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman",
[E]sighed the sna[Am]ke
[Bbm]

[Verse 3]
Now she clutched him to her bosom,
"You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by
[F]now you might have died"
Now she [Bbm]stroked his pretty skin and
then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks,
that snake gave [F]her a vicious [Bbm]bite
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman",
[F]sighed the snake

"I saved you", cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous
and [F#]now I'm going to die"
"O[Bm]h shut up, silly woman",
said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake
[F#]before you took me [Cbm]in
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman",
[F#]sighed [Cbm]the snake[F#]
Sighed the [Bm]snake[F#]
"Take [Bm]me in, oh tender woman
Let me in, I wanna come in
Take me in oh tender woman",
sighed the snake
Come [Bm]in
