The Spider and the Fly by the Rolling Stones from the album, ^УStripped^Ф, 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^Тs 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

Hit each chord form on the beat, hold the last one for two beats

Then on the A7 drop down to this

Put it all together and it goes like this:

(intro) E7 riff twice

E7 riff Sittin^Т thinkin^Т sinkin^Т drinkin^Т

E7 riff Wondering what I^Тll do when I^Тm thru tonight

A7 riff Smokin^Т mopin^Т maybe just hopin^Т

E7 riff Some little girl will pass on by

I don^Тt wanna be alone But I love my girl at home

E7 riff C7 B7 I remember what she said

E7 riff She said, ^УMy, my, my don^Тt tell lies!

E7 riff Keep fidelity in your head!

A7 riff My, my, my, Don^Тt tell lies

E7 riff When you^Тve done your show hit the bed

Don^Тt say ^УHi^Ф, 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^Тm at Sittin^Т, drinkin^Т, superficially thinkin^Т about the rinsed out blonde on my left and then I said ^УHi^Т, 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, ^УMy, my, my, like a spider to a fly Jump right ahead in my web!^Ф

(guitar solo and end)
