Intro (C# minorC#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m A augmentedA)

  C# minorC#m
On candy stripe legs spiderman comes
A augmentedA
Softly through the shadow of the Evening sun
 C# minorC#m
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead



A augmentedA
Looking for the victim shivering in bed.
 C# minorC#m
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
A augmentedA
And suddenly! A augmentedA movement in the corner of the room
       C# minorC#m
And there is nothing I can do when I realise with fright
      A augmentedA                                   C# minorC#m A augmentedA
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
C# minorC#m
Quietly he laughs, and shaking his head
     A augmentedA
Creeps closer now, closer to the foot of the bed
C# minorC#m
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
A augmentedA
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
   C# minorC#m
"Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy
A augmentedA
Don't struggle like that, or I will only love you more
C# minorC#m
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light;
   A augmentedA
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight
   F# minorF#m
And I feel like I'm being eaten
                   A augmentedA
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
F# minorF#m
And I know that in the morning
                 A augmentedA
I will wake up in the shivering cold
                 C# minorC#m
And the spiderman is always hungry
