Verse 1:
E               A              E
Porch lights on distant ridges dark
           B7                        E   B7
Rock lined valley singing with every bark
    E                     A                 E
Black water bottom to windblown timber tall
        B7                      E     B7
It’s my land of snakes and waterfalls

Verse 2:
E                 A                            E
Sixteen score and seven years my blood's called home
        B7                                    E    B7
All the crimson clay and the old roads that I roam
E                   A            E
This place might be cursed after all
             B7                      E
But it’s my land of snakes and waterfalls

Chorus:
      B7                       A         E
And I know that when a distant shore's before me
   Gb                                B7
Oh how my poor heart aches for every hollow that I forsake

Verse 3:
E                   A                 E
I’ve been trying to run since I could crawl

But I’m bound to snakes and waterfalls

Oh how my poor heart aches for every hollow that I forsake

Verse 4:
E                   A                   E
Blue cave water and canebrakes forever call

Me on home to snakes and waterfalls
