Here are the Riffs with the song.

Intro:
Don't go looking for snakes you might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before ?

Riff B:
Ohhh, watch the puppets dancin'
Yeah, see the clowns fall down
Hey, tie your tap shoes tightly
Yeah, and wear them into town

Riff C:
See you crawlin'...
See you crawlin' in...

RIff D:
Don't go looking for snakes you might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before ?
There ain't no heroes here...no....no more

Hey hey hey
Riff B:
Oooh, play the game so nicely
Oh, check, its your move now
Yeah, we're standing in this jungle
Yeah, with serpents I have found

Riff C:
See you crawlin'...
See you crawlin' in...

Riff D:
Don't go looking for snakes you might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before ?
Have your heroes disappeared?

Solo

Riff C:
See you crawlin'....
See you crawlin' in....

Riff D:
So don't go looking for snakes you might find them
Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them
Haven't I seen you here before ?
No there ain't no heroes here.......no no

Outro:
Haven't I seen you here before ?
No there ain't no heroes here.

Don't go looking for snakes you might find them...
Haven't I seen you here before?
Have your heroes disappeared?

Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them...
James plays Riff E a couple times here.
