Snake Eyes – Mumford and Sons
(play Amadd#5 as EADGBE x02211 - basically hold down your first finger on an Amchord)
[Intro]
Am   AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   C/G   G   Em   F  F  
[Verse 1]
AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   G   Em  F  
You hold it in your hands, let it flow,
AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   G   Em  F  
this cruelty, of youth as you fall again alone
Am   G   Em F   C  
and the compromise of truth
[Chorus 1]
FIt’s in the Ameyes, I can Gtell you will always be dFanger
We had it tAmonight, why do you Gleave it open?
Am   AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   C/G   G   Em   F  F  
[Verse 2]
AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   G   Em  F  
and the stakes, remain too high, from the silent mind
AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   G   Em  F  
and the shake, the lonely inch, that course down my spine
to Amleave the Glove diFvine
don’t lAmeave the lGove diFvineC  
Fit’s a water tight excCuse
[Chorus 2]
FIt’s in the Ameyes, I can Gtell you will always be dFanger
We had it tAmonight, why do you Galways seek absoluFtion?
It’s in the eAmyes, I can tGell you will always be daFngerF  
[Verse 3]
AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   G  F  
How does the earth around your feet, just slip away?
AmAmadd#5 Am   C/G   G   Em  F  
And abandon will greet you in the night, with snake eyes,
the mAmost preGcious tFimeC  
[Chorus 2]
FIt’s in the Ameyes, I can Gtell you will always be dFanger
We had it tAmonight, why do you Galways seek absoluFtion?
It’s in the eAmyes, I can tGell you will always be daFngerF  
[Solo - outro]
F F Am Am G Em F F
Am   G- Em   F   F   Am   Am   G- Em  F
