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, ^УStripped^Ф, 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^Тs 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
E—0———0———-0————0———-0———-0———-0-
B—0———0———-0————0———-0———-0———-0-
G—1———2———-4————2———-1———-2———-4-
D—0———0———-0————0———-0———-0———-0-
A—2———4———-5————4———-2———-4———-5-
E—0———0———-0————0———-0———-0———-0-
Hit each chord form on the beat, hold the last one for two beats
Then on the A7 drop down to this
E—0———-0———-0———-0———-0———-0———-0—
B—2———-3———-5———-3———-2———-3———-5—
G—0———-0———-0———-0———-0———-0———-0—
D—2———-4———-5———-4———-2———-4———-5—
A—0———-0———-0———-0———-0———-0———-0—
E—x———-x———-x———-x———-x———-x———-x-
Put it all together and it goes like this:
(intro) E7 riff twice
E7 riff
Sittin^Т thinkin^Т sinkin^Т drinkin^Т
E7 riff
Wondering what I^Тll do when I^Тm thru tonight
A7 riff
Smokin^Т mopin^Т maybe just hopin^Т
E7 riff
Some little girl will pass on by
B7 A7
I don^Тt wanna be alone But I love my girl at home
E7 riff C7 B7
I remember what she said
E7 riff
She said, ^УMy, my, my don^Тt tell lies!
E7 riff
Keep fidelity in your head!
A7 riff
My, my, my, Don^Тt tell lies
E7 riff
When you^Тve done your show hit the bed
B7 A7
Don^Тt say ^УHi^Ф, 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^Тm at
Sittin^Т, drinkin^Т, superficially thinkin^Т
about the rinsed out blonde on my left
and then I said ^УHi^Т, 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, ^УMy, my, my, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web!^Ф
(guitar solo and end)
