Key: :[A#m] (w: Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson, Roger O'Donnell, Boris Williams) (BPM: 94) IE#3 UK#5 US#23

INTRO: [A#m] [F#] : [x6]

VERSE 1:
On [A#m] candystripe legs, spiderman comes
[F#] Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
[A#m] Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
[F#] Looking for the victim, shivering in bed

VERSE 2:
[A#m] Searching out fear, in the gathering gloom
And [F#] suddenly A movement in the corner of the room
And there is [A#m] nothing I can do, when I realise with fright
That the [F#] spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

BREAK: [A#m] [F#] : [x2]

VERSE 3:
[A#m] Quietly he laughs, shaking his head
Creeps [F#] closer now, closer to the foot of the bed
And [A#m] softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His [F#] arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes

VERSE 4:
"Be [A#m] still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy
Don't [F#] struggle like that, or I will only love you more
For it's [A#m] much too late to get away or turn on the light
The [F#] spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

BRIDGE:
And I [D#m] feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry [F#] holes
And I [D#m] know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering [F#] cold
And the spiderman is always hungry

BREAK: [A#m] [F#] : [x6]
