Ballad Of Spider John Chords by Jimmy Buffett

[A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Spidey [C] John is your main friend
[D] And in between Fred said the show wouldn't [Am] be obliged
[C] If you'd share your [G] comfort
[C] I [G] _ _ [Am] know this [C] may sound strange to [D] you
But if you wait till the song is sung and the [Am] story is told
[C] You might come to [G] [C] understand
[G] _ [Am] Why I'm old [C] and bent and devil's [D] bent
Running [G] now [Am] when I long ago [C] held a roll of [D] flesh in my hand
_ [Em] I was a super monkey fool
[A] I was a motor bank [Em] stupid John
Robbing [A] my hometown
_ _ [Em] I thought I'd lost my blues
[A] Yes, I thought I'd saved the news
[F] I thought I'd [C] _
[G] pursued my style
But here I sit, old Spidey [F] John, the robber [C] man
[Em] [Am] Long, tall, and handsome
_ [G] Yes, old Spidey [F] John, the loaded one, [C] _ [G] [Am] taking ransom
Then _ _ _ _ _ one [C] day, a midnight little
[D] She was the sweetest thing
I [Am] declare that the summer [C] breeze
Never [G] blown my _ way
Yeah
But, [Am] Lily, she [C] had no idea
[D] My [G] illustrious occupation
[Am] She thought I [C] was a saint, not a sinner, [G] gone _ _ astray
Yeah
_ But [A] you see that the word [C] got around
And Lily [D] left town
Never [G] saw her again
[Am] Tossing [C] and turning, causing [D] my heart to grieve
[Em] I was a super monkey fool
[A] I was a motor bank [Em] stupid John _
[A] Robbing my hometown
I [Em] thought I'd lost my blues
[A] Yes, I thought I'd saved the news
[F] I thought I'd [C] pursued [G] my style
But here I sit, old Spidey [F] John, the robber [C] man
[G] Long, [Am] tall, and handsome
_ [G] Yes, old Spidey [F] John, the [C] loaded one, [G] [Am] taking ransom
[D] That [A] _ _ _ [Am] _ is [C] all my story
[D] It's been these thirty years since I [Am] took to the [C] road
To find my precious [G] jewel
[C] _ [G] _ _ [Am] If you see my Lily, [D] won't you give her [G] my regards
[Am] Tell her old Spidey got [C] tangled in the black web [G] that he spun
You [Am] tell her old Spidey got [C] tangled in the black web [G] that he [C] spun
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
