Verse 1
I (C major) had (G major) (C major) an old dog
and his name was Spider.
His (G major) legs were so wide
and his (C major) grin was wider.
All (F major) black, white and brown,
the (C major) be st dog in town.
Yes, of (D major) all the town dogs, he was (G major) king.
Now (F major) when I would tune up my
(C major) fiddle and bowl,
That doggy (G major) would tilt back
his (C major) little head so,
He'd (F major) raise up his nose,
his (C major) eyes he would close,
And he'd sing, sing, (G major) (C major) sing.
Sing, (F major) spider, come (C major) sing me a tune,
Come howl (G major) at the mountain,
come (C major) bay at the moon,
I'll (F major) play on my fiddle, I'll (C major) tickle the string,
if you sing the (G major) spider's (C major) song. (G major) (C major)
I went for a spree, and I flew in a glider,
I looked (G major) down below me,
and (C major) there I saw a spider.
He (F major) ran up the hill,
he (C major) took a great spill,
and he (D major) ran all around in a (G major) ring.
I soared (F major) through the air
and I (C major) made a great loop
I came (G major) up behind (D minor) him
and (C major) made a great swoop
And (F major) as I swished by, I (C major) leaned out to cry
Come on, sing, (G major) spider, (C major) sing
Sing, (F major) spider, come sing (C major) me a tune
Come howl (G major) at the mountain,
come (C major) bay at the moon
I'll (F major) play on my fiddle, I'll (C major) tickle the string
If you sing, (G major) spider, (C major) sing
You don't (G major) have to fetch
me my (C major) slippers,
though (G major) that's what some good doggies (C major) do.
I just (D major) want to hear a song in my ear,
you're a good dog too. (G major)
I (C major) rode on a train that went
up to Alaska,
but then (G major) I got bored and
got (C major) off in Nebraska.
I stood (F major) in the rain way (C major) out on the plain,
I could (D major) n't see anything. (G major)
My pock (F major) ets were empty,
the (C major) fu ture looked black
But something (G major) was wriggling
down (C major) in my back
From his (F major) hiding place
he came (C major) licking my face
I cried, sing, (G major) spider, (C major) sing
Sing, (F major) spider, come (C major) sing me a tune
Come a (G major) -howl at the mountain,
come (C major) bay at the moon
I'll (F major) play on my fiddle, I'll (C major) tickle a string
If you sing, (G major) spider,
(C major) sing (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
You don't (G major) have to fetch
me my (C major) slippers,
though (G major) that's what some good doggies (C major) do.
I just (D major) want to hear a song in my ear,
you're a good dog (G major) too. I had (C major) an old
dog and his name was Spider
His (G major) legs were so wide,
and (C major) when it was whiter
All (F major) black, white and brown,
the be (C major) st dog in town
Yes, (D major) of all the town dogs he was (G major) king
Now (F major) when I would tune up
my (C major) fiddle and bow
That (G major) dog, he would tilt back his (C major) little head
So he'd (F major) raise up his nose,
his (C major) eyes he would close
And he'd sing, (G major) sing, sing (C major)
Sing, (F major) spider, come (C major) sing me a tune
Come a (G major) -howl at the mountain,
come (C major) bay at the moon
I'll (F major) play on my fiddle, I'll (C major) tickle the string
If you sing, (G major) spider, (C major) sing
I'll (F major) play on my fiddle, I'll (C major) tickle the string
If you sing, (G major) spider, (C major) sing you
