Snake With Eyes Of Garnet Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Last Dnight as I lay Bmdreaming

My Dway across the Bmsea

James DMangan brought me Bmcomfort

With laudGnum and Dpoitin

He flew me back to BmDublin

In D18Bm19

DTo a public exeBmcution

Being Gheld on Stephen's DGreen

The Dyoung man on the Bmplatform

Held his Dhead up and he did Bmsing

Then he wDhispered hard into my Bmear

As he Ghanded me this Dring

If you Dmiss me on the Bmharbour

For the Dboat, it leaves at Bmthree

Take this Dsnake with eyes of Bmgarnet

My Gmother gave to Dme!

This snake cannot be captured

This snake cannot be tied

This snake cannot be tortured, or

Hung or crucified

It came down through the ages

It belongs to you and me

So pass it on and pass it on

'Till all mankind is free

If you miss me on the harbour

For the boat, it leaves at three

Take this snake with eyes of garnet

My mother gave to me"

He swung, his face went purple

A roar came from the crowd

But Mangan laughed and pushed me

And we got back on the cloud

He dropped me off in London

Back in this dying land

But my eyes were filled with wonder

At the ring still in my hand

If you miss me on the harbour

For the boat, it leaves at three

Take this snake with eyes of garnet

My mother gave to me!

And if you miss me on the harbour

For the boat, it leaves at three

Take this snake with eyes of garnet

My mother gave to me!
