[Verse 1]
D
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead

D
"You give us vipers a real bad name"

D
You prey on the weakest, fight for no reason

D
No wonder we get blamed"

D
Copperhead laughed, said, "Kiss my ass!

D
You can bark but there ain't much bite

D
You rattle that tail, but it's fear I smell

D
I think you're shaking out of fright"
[Chorus]
D
Rattlesnake, copperhead

D
Either one of them'll kill you dead

D
We stay hungry, they get fed

           A
And don't pass the plate around

        D
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat

D
Venom in smiling teeth

D
They just run those forked tongues

         A                     D
And the whole world's burning down
[Post-Chorus]
Wow! Wow! Wow!

[Verse 2]
D
Copperhead said to the rattlesnake

D
"If you ever wanna make it rain

D
We could team up, be twice as tough

D
Fear will be our game"

D
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead

D
"Y'know we were the original sin

D
And I bet you my rattle against your copper

D
That the bitch takes the apple again"
[Chorus]
D
Rattlesnake, copperhead

D
Either one of them'll kill you dead

D
We stay hungry, they get fed

          A
And don't pass the plate around

        D
Lie by lie, cheat by cheat

D
Venom in smiling teeth

D
They just run those forked tongues

         A                     D
And the whole world's burning down
[Post-Chorus]
Wow! Wow! Wow!

[Outro]
D
Rattlesnake said to the copperhead

D
"Ain't no way they'd win
'Cause the mice are sheep and the shepherd's asleep"
        A                  D
And the copperhead said, "Amen"
