By the way, thanks for OLGA. It's been a godsend for me.
The Spider and the Fly by the Rolling Stones
from the album, ^ÓStripped^Ô, 1996.
Words and music by M. Jagger and K. Richards(whoever they are)
transcribed and submitted by Vance Augustine
The song is pretty simple. It^Òs your basic 3 chord blues. What really
makes the song is the
little walking riff they do with the guitars. On every E7 chord play it
like this
Put it all together and it goes like this:
(intro) E7 riff twice
E7 riff
Sittin^Ò thinkin^Ò sinkin^Ò drinkin^Ò
E7 riff
Wondering what I^Òll do when I^Òm thru tonight
A7 riff
Smokin^Ò mopin^Ò maybe just hopin^Ò
E7 riff
Some little girl will pass on by
B7 A7
I don^Òt wanna be alone But I love my girl at home
E7 riff C7 B7
I remember what she said
E7 riff
She said, ^ÓMy, my, my don^Òt tell lies!
E7 riff
Keep fidelity in your head!
A7 riff
My, my, my, Don^Òt tell lies
E7 riff
When you^Òve done your show hit the bed
B7 A7
Don^Òt say ^ÓHi^Ô, like a spider to a fly
E7 riff C7 B7
Jump right ahead and your dead!
Sit up, fed up, low down, go round
Down to the bar at the place I^Òm at
Sittin^Ò, drinkin^Ò, superficially thinkin^Ò
about the rinsed out blonde on my left
and then I said ^ÓHi^Ò, like a spider to a fly
Remembering what my little girl said
(harmonica solo)
she was spiffy, shifty
she looked about fifty
I would have run away but I was on my own
She told me later she was a machine operator
she said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said, ^ÓMy, my, my, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web!^Ô
(guitar solo and end)
