Spider chords by The Handsome Family

G

         G
In the shadows, in the bushes,
         C                 G
in the space between the leaves
    C           G
A spider in a thicket
  D               G
crawled up on my knee

           G
I put my gloves on, put my hat on,
       C             G
and I ran from the trees
          C             G
But that little black spider
         D            G
came a-crawling after me

           C             G
From the shadows in the bushes,
         C                 G
in the space between the leaves
   C             G
A little black spider
         D                G
came a-crawling home with me

     G
It crawled across my window
      C               G
as I lay me down to sleep
        C             G
In the morning on my pillow
    D            G
it waited patiently

      G
And then came the ants,
      C             G
the frogs and the snakes
  C              G
Slithering and sliding
  D                      G
through my clean white sheets

 C                 G
Rustling from the bushes,
  C                 G
creeping from the leaves
C             G
Every awful creature
         D            G
came a-crawling over me

G C G C G D G

   G
I crushed them and killed them,
          C            G
but they came all the more
      C         G
So I ran in my nightshirt
 D            G
out onto the lawn

        G
But I tripped upon a tree root
           C                G
and they swarmed from the weeds
   C               G
A million little teeth
 D          G
tore me to pieces

         C              G
In the shadows of the thicket
 C                        G
rain poured through the leaves
            C               G
And I was scattered in the mud
   D                   G
beneath the dripping trees

          G
But from here and from there,
     C        G
from every direction
 C             G
Little voices sang
D                G
under twigs and mosses

        G
And I swarmed and I gathered
C                G
under logs and leaves
    C             G
I crawled and I slithered
D               G
under rotting trees

        C             G
In the tangle of the bushes,
      C              G
underneath the wet leaves
      C        G
I am many and nothing
        D                G
and I crawl up on your knee

        C             G
In the tangle of the bushes,
      C              G
underneath the wet leaves
      C        G
I am many and nothing
        D                G
and I crawl up on your knee
