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
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^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)
