Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
Am
There's a kingsnake and a rattler in a battle to the death
G
Intertwined around each other somewhere deep inside my chest
Dm
It's a dance with deadly purpose in-between two mortal foes
Am                                     G                   Am
And as long as I'm alive and kickin', 'round and 'round it goes

[Verse 2]
Am
Well, that rattler, he's a liar, he's got poison on his tongue
G
With his venom in my veins, I don't care what I become
Dm
And the kingsnake wants to crush him with an iron force of will
Am                                           G             Am
He aims to swallow him up whole, but I don't think he ever will

[Chorus]
C                                G
Have you ever said a prayer even though you don't believe?
Dm                                      F
Have you ever been the reason that your loved ones have to grieve?
        C                        G
Did you ever taste tequila and a half-remembered sin
       Dm                           Em          Am
As the kingsnake and the rattler do battle once again?

[Verse 3]
           Am
Well, that rattler makes his home inside the hollows of a heart
      G
Down amongst the broken pieces of a world that falls apart
         Dm
He could strike at any second, you might never know he's there
           Am                              G             Am
But if you ever get him buzzin', boys, you better just beware

[Verse 4]
Am
The only thing in this old world that makes the rattler quake
        G
Is the coming of the one they call the king of all the snakes
         Dm
He's got truth around his belly, he's got judgment in his grip
            Am                                 G              Am
But lately, that ol' rattler's gettin' good at givin' him the slip

[Chorus]
         C                       G
Have you ever said a prayer even though you don't believe?
         Dm                             F
Have you ever been the reason that your loved ones have to grieve?
        C                        G
Did you ever taste tequila and a half-remembered sin
       Dm                           Em           Am
As the kingsnake and the rattler do battle once again?

[Bridge]
C    G  Dm  Fmaj7
Hmm, hmm
C G Dm Em Am

[Verse 5]
Am
I came across a painting on a lonely desert rock
      G
By an artist long since dead who still can bid the stone to talk
      Dm
And I asked myself again what lives within the heart of man
              Am                                     G             Am
That made him paint the same two serpents that still circle in the sand

[Chorus]
C                                G
Have you ever said a prayer even though you don't believe?
         Dm                             F
Have you ever been the reason that your loved ones have to grieve?
         C                      G
Have you ever drifted free on a painted desert wind
         Dm                         Em           Am
As the kingsnake and the rattler do battle once again?
