"Snake Mountain Blues" from Out Mother the Mountain (1969)
by Townes Van Zandt
Em - Am - Am - Em
Em Am Mr. Ten Dollar man, let me tell where you're bound Em Drink your green liquor, Lord, you'll roll to the ground Em Am But you come around here, with your money in your hand Am7 Dm Em Am em Taste of my woman, you die where you stand
Chorus:
Am Em Snake Mountain blues, they got me down low Am Em I could die in the morning but no one would know Em Am My woman come 'round, my body she'd find Dm Am Go down to Dundee - have her a time Em Am Snake Mountain's gonna crumble, Lord, and fall from the sky Em before that woman of mine stops tellin' her lies Em Am If I'd die Lord she'd weep, she'd weep and she'd mourn Em Am Em Soon as I's buried... Forget I'd been born Em Am Well a black-skinned woman, she won't do you no wrong Em Slow to start moanin' - she don't moan for long Em Am Oh, a yellow-headed woman brings you nothin' but pain Em Am Em Take all you give her... she leaves only shame Em Am My Daddy, Lord he rides on a long holy train Em First winds of winter I'll see him again Em Am It's farewell to this yellow-headed misery I've known Em Am Em Snake Mountain's calling... Callin' me home
Chorus:
Am Em Snake Mountain blues, they got me down low Am Em I could die in the morning but no one would know Em Am My woman come 'round, my body she'd find Dm Am Go down to Dundee - have her a time
