Verse 1
Am 
Come on in
On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
D 
Am 
A tender -hearted woman saw
D 
E 
A poor, half -frozen snake
Am 
His pretty colored skin
D 
Am 
had been all frosted with the dew
D 
Am 
One thing she cried, I'll take you in
E 
Am 
And I'll take care of  you
Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman
E 
Am 
Beside the snake,
she wrapped him all cozy
in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside
E 
with some honey and some milk
Am 
She hurried home from work that night
as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake
E 
she'd taken to had been revived
Am 
Take me in, tender woman,
take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman,
E 
Am 
Bbm 
for silence' sake
She clutched him to her bosom,
you're so beautiful, she cried
Db 
Bbm 
But if I hadn't brought you in,
E#m 
by now you might have died
Bbm 
She spoke his pretty skin again,
kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks,
F 
Bbm 
that snake gave her a vicious bite
Take me in, tender woman,
take me in for heaven's sake
E# 
Take me in, tender woman,
A#m 
Bm 
side to side
I'll say goodbye, the woman,
and you've been with me but why
You know your bite is poisonous
F# 
F#m 
F# 
and now I'm gonna die
Bm 
Shut up, silly woman,
sitting on the rooftop with the wind
E 
Bm 
You knew damn well I was a snake
F# 
Bm 
before you took me in
Take me in, tender woman,
take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman,
F# 
Bm 
silent snake
F#

He's the snake, that's the snake

He's that snake

Come on in, come on in you
