Sharon Van Etten - Serpents Chords

Sharon Van Etten – Serpents Acoustic

Difficulty - Easy

Tuning: Standard (No Capo)

The original song is play with a Capo on the second fret but the acoustic version played 
on The Walking Dead has no capo.

Also to get the twangy effect of the song when playing an Am, throw down your pinkie 
finger on the 3rd fret (which makes it an Asus4) and pull off after a couple strums.

Intro

C  Am (with hammer on) (x3)

G6add11 C


Verse
C             Am
It was a close call
C                           Am
Sitting in the back of the room
                      C
With a bowl you had owned
Am              G6add11
But they didn't know

C              Am
Closing on my black eye
   C           Am
Feel safe at times
   C           Am
Certain emblems
  G6add11     C
Tell me it's time


Chorus
 C           Am
Serpents in my mind
 C           Am
Looking for your crimes
   G6add11   Am
Everything changes
    C         Am            C
I don't want mine to this time


Verse
  C               Am
You enjoy sucking on dreams
 C                  Am
So I will fall asleep with someone other than you
 C                  Am                  G6add11
I had a thought you would take me seriously
          Am
And listen on

Verse

You'll stay frozen in time
Collagen girls
Controlling minds
You hold the mirror well
To everybody else

Chorus

Serpents in my mind
Trying to forgive your crimes
Everyone changes in time
I hope he changes this time

Outro

C  Am (with hammer on) (x3)

G6add11 C
