For The Snakes chords by The Mountain Goats

Intro:

Eb Eb Eb Eb

Verse 1:

Eb              Ab   Eb
All your brambles, all your creeping vines
Eb              Ab   Fm
All of the trash that people leave behind
     Ab     Bb        Eb       Ab
All your fine, fine columns poking up through the pond scum
       Ab       Bb      Eb
We will have uses for these things when we come

Verse 2:

Eb               Ab      Eb
Cracks in the marble you hauled in from the quarry
Eb              Ab     Fm
These will be seen by all in all their glory
Ab      Bb            Eb  Ab
Long hidden shadows of the places they came from
        Ab         Bb      Eb
We will bring memories of these things when we come


Bridge:

F# Bb     Eb    Ab
  All your abandoned things
Db           Eb
Once fine vestments, statues with wings
F# Bb        Eb     Ab
  They have their uses, every one
Ab       Bb
Let me slither across them in the sun


Verse 3:

Eb             Ab        Eb
Pale imitations that you brought back from afar
Eb    Ab           Fm
We will show them to you as they are
Ab        Bb       Eb Ab
Wind through the ruins, high and lonesome
       Ab       Bb      Eb
We will have uses for these things when we come
