Spider
From the album Wilderness

[INTRO]

G

[VERSE 1]

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

[CHORUS]

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

[VERSE 2]

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

[CHORUS]

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

[INTERLUDE]

G C G C G D G

[VERSE 3]

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

[CHORUS]

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

[VERSE 4]

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

[CHORUS]

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

[OUTRO]

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

G
