_ _ _ _ _ _ Up until one century ago, there lived in the Zhaiduang province [Bm] of an eastern country,
a glass-like spider.
_ _ Having devoured its [Em] prey, it would drape the [G] skeletons over its web,
in weeks [A] creating a [B] macabre [Bm] shrine of remains.
_ _ Its web was also unique in that it had many layers, like floors of [F#] a building.
[C] At _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] the top of this palace [Bm]-like place,
[Em] assembled with [B] almost apparent [F#] care,
were [Bm] tiny shining objects.
_ Glass, beads, _ dewdrops.
_ [Am] One could almost [Em] call it an [C] altar.
_ [E] When the breeze blew through [G] this construction,
it produced [Bm] sounds of wailing, _ crying.
_ _ Tiny wails, _ tiny [Bm] cries.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically for their mother.
But the glass spider [Bm] would have long gone,
having known that the babies would survive somehow on their own. _
Oh, [F#] the glass spider had [Em] blue eyes, almost [C#] like a [Em] human's.
They shed tears at the winter [F] time of centuries. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] Don't you [G] hear this wasting cry? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] Life is so big, you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But [F] you _ _ _ see,
_ _ [G] who's in trouble? _ _ _
_ [Am] Is there anyone _ there?

_ _ Mommy, come back, the water's all [F] warm. _ _ _ _ _
Somewhere she knows I'm fine. _
Somewhere [G] she waits for me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But you, [Am] you come and tease your lover. _
_ Come and stop her.
