[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
I met an old, fat spider,
G D G
Spinning in his tree.
Em
I said, "Hey old, fat spider,
G D G
I bet you can't catch me!
G D
You've grown too fat you lazy lob.
C G
You're just an old Tomnoddy!
Am Em
Hey Attercop! Hey Attercop!
C D Em
You can't catch anybody."
[Interlude]
C D Em
[Verse 2]
Em
And then the old, fat spider,
G D G
He spun a final thread.
Em
I said, "Hey old, fat spider,
G D G
It's time that you were dead!"
G D
I drew my sword to cut his silk,
C G
To kill the old Tomnoddy.
Am Em
But then I thought, I'll leave him be;
C D Em
He can't catch anybody.
[Interlude]
C D Em
[Verse 3]
Em
I met an old fat spider
G D G
In his spinning tree.
Em
His web all old and tattered,
G D G
And he could hardly see.
G D
I shooed a fly into his lair
C G
To feed the old Tomnoddy.
Am Em
'Cause how can you kill a spider
C D Em
who can't catch anybody?
Am Em
How can you kill a spider
C D Em
who can't catch anybody?
