[Verse 1]
[D]This is
Kim
Carson,
Uncle
Kess.
The old [G]man didn't
seem to hear.
He spoke to the air in front of him.
[G]Your hand and your eyes know a lot
more about shooting than you do.
Just learn to stand out of
the way.
His empty eyes, old [F#m]unbluffed
un[C#]readable rest on
Kim.
[G]City boy, did you ever see a dog
roll and [F#m]carry him.
[G]Yes, sir. I was tempted to join
him, sir.
Did you ever see a black
snake pretend to be a rattlesnake?
The scene flashed in front of
Kim's eyes.
[G]Kells,
Ellisor, and
Kim had chased and cornered
a six -foot black snake.
[G]It was a
fall day and there were leaves on the ground
and the [F#m]snake coiled [G]itself, opened
its mouth, [G]vibrating the tip
of its tail in the dry leaves.
[F#m]An d both boys saw
immediately what was happen
[G]ing.
He's pretending to be a rattlesnake,
[G]trying to
[F#m]scare us off.
[G]How does he know enough to do that?
What do you think, the old
man asked?
You think he once saw a rattlesnake
scare someone?
No, sir, I
think he just knows about other snakes.
Kim, if you had your choice, [E]would you
rather be [G]a poisonous
[E]snake or [Em]non -poisonous?
[G]Oh, poisonous, sir, like a
Green mamba or a spitting cobra?
Why?
I'd feel safer, sir.
[D]And that's your [G]idea of heaven,
feeling safer?
Yes, sir.
[D]Is a poisonous [G]snake really safer?
Not really,
but he must feel good after he bites someone.
Safer?
Yes, sir.
Dead people are less
frightening than live ones.
Young man, I think you're an assassin.
[G]I want t[D]o be one, s[G]ir.
You guys [Em]make the [G]grade.
