The song is pretty simple. It^?s 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
E--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0-B--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0-G--1---------2----------4------------2----------1----------2----------4-D--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0-A--2---------4----------5------------4----------2----------4----------5-E--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0-
Hit each chord form on the beat, hold the last one for two beats
Then on the A7 drop down to this
E--0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0--B--2----------3----------5----------3----------2----------3----------5--G--0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0--D--2----------4----------5----------4----------2----------4----------5--A--0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0--E--x----------x----------x----------x----------x----------x----------x-
Put it all together and it goes like this:
(intro) E7 riff twice

E7 riff

E7 riff

E7 riff
When you^?ve done your show hit the bed
B7 A7
Don^?t say ^?Hi^?, 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^?m at
Sittin^?, drinkin^?, superficially thinkin^?
about the rinsed out blonde on my left
and then I said ^?Hi^?, 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, ^?My, my, my, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web!^?
(guitar solo and end)
