Conrad the Caterpillar thought he was really killer,
E MajorE            D MajorD    A augmentedA
Couldn't wait to build a cocoon (original lyrics)
 or
E MajorE                D MajorD    A augmentedA
Couldn't wait to buy blue suede shoes (recent lyrics)
E MajorE             D MajorD       A augmentedA
Spent all his days eatin' leaves in the shade
  E MajorE             D MajorD   A augmentedA
And stayed when the night set, too.
E MajorE           D MajorD        A augmentedA
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a thriller
E MajorE            D MajorD   A augmentedA
Soon as the threads was spun
BB
Wouldn't stop to play in the Caterpillar Games
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
Till his own webbing game was done.

     E MajorE     D MajorD   A augmentedA    E MajorE    D MajorD A augmentedA
He said, "No, no, I got no time to play,
   E MajorE
Got a thousand little legs
      D MajorD     A augmentedA    E MajorE   D MajorD A augmentedA
That don't get me too far in a day,
  E MajorE    D MajorD   A augmentedA      E MajorE    D MajorD A augmentedA
I'm leaving, looks like I can't stay."

Verse 2:
That little pillar he found him a willow
Spun in with a craftsmans weave
Wound so tightly to protect him from the light
And all shapes of water that drop from the leaves
Conrad the Caterpillar knew he would be a chiller
And he wound it tighter some more
Wound it so wide and the ends of his legs got sore.

He said, "No, now I can't feel my feet
Just when I thought
It was time to take a stroll on down the street
I'm leaving, looks like I can't leave
What do you know?
What's all this moving around with inside me?

Verse 3:
What kind of 'piller could touch the world of a miller
Chopping trees to build a new store
Nobody sees a lonely bump on the tree
Except a lump who's crying for more
Conrad the Caterpillar knew life would be a chiller
As he wound it tighter some more
Anybody stands in the caterpillar's place
Is moving in a standing run

  I might as well make room and try

Jam on the Bridge 3 groove for about 16 measures.

Step down (not sure of the actual steps) to an E.

Oh no, I just need a little room to play

Got a thousand little wings and I'm gonna

Use them all today
