Sharon Van Etten – Serpents Acoustic Transcribed by: Ryan M
Difficulty - Easy
Tuning: Standard (No Capo)
The original song is play with a Capo on the second fret but the acoustic version played on The Walking Dead has no capo.
Also to get the twangy effect of the song when playing an Am, throw down your pinkie finger on the 3rd fret (which makes it an Asus4) and pull off after a couple strums.
Verse CAm It was a close call CAm Sitting in the back of the room C With a bowl you had owned Am G6add11 But they didn't know
CAm Closing on my black eye CAm Feel safe at times CAm Certain emblems G6add11 C Tell me it's time
Chorus CAm Serpents in my mind CAm Looking for your crimes G6add11 Am Everything changes CAmC I don't want mine to this time
Verse CAm You enjoy sucking on dreams CAm So I will fall asleep with someone other than you CAm G6add11 I had a thought you would take me seriously Am And listen on
Verse
You'll stay frozen in time Collagen girls Controlling minds You hold the mirror well To everybody else
Chorus
Serpents in my mind Trying to forgive your crimes Everyone changes in time I hope he changes this time
