  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)
