Song: Snuff (Acoustic)
Artist: Slipknot
Album: All Hope is Gone
This song is for the acoustic version by Corey Taylor found at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6VftcpePOg
This song just uses some basic chords. Tuning is C# standard. That means from low
to high C#-F#-B-E-G#-C# or Drop B with the 6th string in C#.
So the chords are (by standard shape)
Am Em C/G G7 G Note: I play the G7 like this and it sounds fine
-0- -0- -0- -1- -3- -0-
-1- -0- -1- -0 -3- -1-
-2- -0- -0- -0- -0- -0-
-2- -2- -2- -0- -0- -0-
-0- -2- -3- -2- -2- -2-
-x- -0- -3- -3- -3- -3-
Just so you know, the intro and verse, you hold the first chord for a while then
jump skip the 2nd for a strum to the third. Repeat the pattern for 3 and 4. Youll
hear it if you listen to the song. and I know the chorus lyrics arent the same but
I call it that because the guitar is the same
[Intro]
Am Em C/G G7 x2
[Verse]
Am Em C/G G7
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Am Em C/G G7
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
Am Em C/G G7
The air around me still feels like a cage
Am Em C/G
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...
[Interlude]
Am Em C/G G7 Am Em C/G(hold)
[Chorus]
G
So if you love me, let me go.
Am
And run away before I know.
G
My heart is just too dark to care.
Am
I can't destroy what isn't there.
G
Deliver me into my fate -
Am
If I'm alone I cannot hate
G
I don't deserve to have you...
C/G
My smile was taken long ago
(Still C/G)
If I can change I hope I never know
[Break]
Am Em C/G G7 x2
[Verse]
Am Em C/G G7
I still press your letters to my lips
Am Em C/G G7
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
Am Em C/G G7
I couldn't face a life without your lights
Am Em C/G
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight
[Chorus]
C/G G
So save your breath, I will not care.
Am
I think I made it very clear.
G
You couldn't hate enough to love.
Am
Is that supposed to be enough?
G
I only wish you weren't my friend.
Am
Then I could hurt you in the end.
G
I never claimed to be a saint...
C/G
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
(Still C/G)
It took the death of hope to let you go
[Break]
Am Em C/G G7 x3 Then.... Am Em C/G
[Chorus]
G
So break yourself against my stones
Am
And spit your pity in my soul
G
You never needed any help
Am
You sold me out to save yourself
G
And I won't listen to your shame
Am
You ran away - you're all the same
G
Angels lie to keep control...
C/G
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
Am Em
If you still care, don't ever let me know
C/G G7 (Am Em C/G G7) x2
If you still care, don't ever let me know...
Then end on Am
Then Corey breaks down in tears.
