Rattlesnake - Jack Van Cleaf | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
C#/F# C#sus2 C#/F# C#sus2
Mmm,

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C#/F#
Losing touch in Tennessee
Freedom's got the best of me
   C#sus2
Goddamn my opportunities
And goddamn this easy livin'
C#/F#
Gasping for the mountain air
Crawling up the campus stairs
   C#sus2
My throne is an electric chair
I'm stunned with indecision

[Instrumental (1)]
---------------------
C#/F# C#sus2
         Mmm

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#/F#
Pray for upgrades on my soul
Tearing through an open road
C#sus2
Questionin' my moral code
And screaming at a windshield
C#/F#
Knowing better all along
Knowing all I know is wrong
C#sus2
Throwing up my alcohol
Am I making this a big deal?

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C#/F# C#sus2      A#m                C#sus2
         Oh, my skull is just a big     white house
        A#m                C#sus2
To some punk-ass kids from outta town
     A#m                  C#sus2
They stay up late and talk     real loud
        G#sus4            C#sus2/A#       G#sus4
And sometimes I feel like kicking them out

[Instrumental (2)]
---------------------
C#/F# C#sus2
         Mmm,

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C#/F#
Self-absorbed most of the time
Obsessed with sex and suicide
    C#sus2
The dreams of Texas girls gone by
I lie like California
C#/F#
Stumblin' over all the states
Mumblin' like a basket case
     C#sus2
"Oh, love is like a rattlesnake
Before it bites, it tries to warn ya"

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C#/F# C#sus2      A#m                C#sus2
         But my heart is just a little boy
A#m                C#sus2
Holding hands like brand-new toys
A#m               C#sus2
Drunk on freedom, stuck on choice
     G#sus4            C#sus2/A#
Just cooing for the rattle's noise

[Instrumental (3)]
---------------------
C#/F#  | C#add11/G# | C#sus2/A# | C#/F# 
G#sus4 | C#sus2/A#  

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C#/F#
Out of town and two klicks past
C#add11/G#
Found   a western diamondback
   C#sus2/A#
It blocks  my self-destructive path
I laugh, it shakes its tail
      C#/F#
Says, "If you hurt all of your friends
    C#add11/G#
And disappear around the bend
    C#sus2/A#
You bet     you come right back again
And try to love, though you may fail"

[Outro]
---------------------
C#/F# C#add11/G#
Ooh,
               C#sus2/A#
La-la-la, ha-ha
C#/F# C#add11/G#
Ooh
               C#sus2/A#
La-la-la, ha-ha
