AmVerse 1
Am C Spider John is my name, friend D I'm in between freights and I sure Am would be obliged C G If you'd share your company Am C I know this may sound strange to you D But if you wait till the song is sung Am and the story is told C G You might come to understand Am C Why I'm old and bent and devil-spent, D G runnin' out of time Am C When I long ago held a royal flush in D D7 my hand
Chorus
Em Oh, I was a supermarket fool A7 I was a roll-the-bank stool-pigeon, Em A7 robbin' my hometown Em I thought I lost my blues A7 Yes, I thought I paid my dues F C G I thought I'd found a life to suit my style G F But here I sit, ol’ Spider John the robber-man C Am Long, tall, and handsome G F Yes, ol’ Spider John with a loaded C Am hand, takin' ransom
Verse 2
Am C Then one day I met Diamond Lill D She was the sweetest thing, I Am declare, that the summer breeze had C G ever blown my way Am C But Lilly she had no idea, of my D G illustrious occupation Am She thought I was a saint, not a C G sinner, gone astray Am But you see that word got around and C Lilly left town D G I never saw her again Am C Tossin' and turnin', 'causin' my heart D D7 to grieve
Chorus

Verse 3
Am C That is all my story D It's been these thirty years since I Am took to the road C G To find my precious jewel one Am C D And if you see my Lilly, won't you give G her my regards Am Tell her ol’ Spider got tangled in the C G black web that he spun Am You can tell her ol’ Spider got tangled C G the black web that he spun
