                   Am
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines

                   E
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines
[Verse 1]
Am
 Gotta tell y'all I don't mind dyin'

G  Am
     Been alive for a long enough time

G  Am
     What makes me sad, what makes me sigh
N.C. There ain't no outliving these Kudzu vines [Chorus]
                   Am
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines

                   E
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines
[Verse 2]
Am
 Jesus was a carpenter, this was way back when

G  Am
    Went on vacation with his only friend

G  Am
    Said the lowly is holy and the holy divine
N.C. But I don't remember creating these Kudzu vines [Chorus]
                   Am
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines

                   E
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines
[Bridge]
      F
Maybe I'll go to Heaven, that's where they all tell there

C
 The tendrils won't swallow up, overwhelm there, yeah

G                                                     Am
That's where I'm going, that's where you all can come find me

     F
Till then, I'll be biting my way through the serpents

     C
Till then, I'll be slicing my way through the servants

   G
Of all that is evil and hungry and creeping

  Am
I warn you I'm not feeling kindly
[Chorus]
                   Am
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines

                   E
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines
[Verse 3]
Am
 Swing your machete to the left and the right

G  Am
    Swing your machete with all your might

G  Am
    Black is the hair of a true love of mine

    Am
But green is the blood of these Kudzu vines
[Chorus]
                   Am
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines

                   E
Kudzu vines, Kudzu vines
