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 chord play it
like this
Hit each chord form on the beat, hold the last one for two beats
Then on the drop down to this
Put it all together and it goes like this:
(intro) riff twice
riff
Sittin^Ò thinkin^Ò sinkin^Ò drinkin^Ò
riff
Wondering what I^Òll do when I^Òm thru tonight
riff
Smokin^Ò mopin^Ò maybe just hopin^Ò
riff
Some little girl will pass on by
I don^Òt wanna be alone But I love my girl at home
riff
I remember what she said
riff
She said, ^ÓMy, my, my don^Òt tell lies!
riff
Keep fidelity in your head!
riff
My, my, my, Don^Òt tell lies
riff
When you^Òve done your show hit the bed
Don^Òt say ^ÓHi^Ô, like a spider to a fly
riff
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)
