By the way, thanks for OLGA. It's been a godsend for me. 
 
 
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 
 
 
 
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)
