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

INTRO: [Bm] [G] : [x6]

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

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

BREAK: [Bm] [G] : [x2]

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

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

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

BREAK: [Bm] [G] : [x6]
