Chords for Jimmy Buffett - Ballad Of Spider John

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] I _ _ _ _ wrote this song [E] _ _ for _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
the cosmic [Em] cowboys. _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _
One of those songs you always go, God I wish I was a real man. _ _ _
_ _ The next best thing you can do [Am] is try to give as good an interpretation as you possibly can.
So I hope this works.
_ It's called Love in Spiderman.
_ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [Am] Spidey John is my [C] name and _ [D]
I'm in between friends and it sure _ would be [Am] _
alright.
_ If we shared, if [C] we _ shared the _ [G] company. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] On my _ way to [C] nowhere, _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ running from [Am] my [G] past, _ _ _ [Am] running from [A] the [C] things I [G] used to be. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
But _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] I know this may _ [C] sound strange, [D] but if you read through the songs and the stories _ [Am] _ told,
you [C] might come to _
[G] understand _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] why [Am] I'm old and thin [C] and _ devil's pin.
Running, _
[D] running _ _ from the [G] past, when [Am] I longed for no help.
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I [Em] was
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _
born _ _ _ _ [E] _
to _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
rob and rob.
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] Yes, I thought I _ paid my dues, _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ I sued _ [G] my style. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ Yes, [G] so _ Spidey John [F] took a look, _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] take a [Am] right turn.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Then _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ one [Em] day I [G] met Diamond [C] Lynn, [D] she was the sweetest thing.
I knew it clear that [Am] the summer breeze [C] had ever come [G] my _ way.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ Lily, she had no [C] idea, _ _ [D] my _ illustrious _ _ [G] occupation. _ _
_ She [Am] thought I was sane, [C] I was set on, _ [G] I was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ crazy.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ Spidey _ loved [C] his Lily so [A] much, [D] he would not confess his sins.
And when he [Am] did, she was [C] sure to take [G] her leave. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She'd seen out [Am] the work I'd run, [C] and Lily left town.
[D] He never _ saw [G] her again. _ _ _
_ [Am] Tossed and answered, [C] his poor heart was meant [D] to _ grieve. _ _
_ _ _ Oh, I [Em] was a _ _ _ supermodel, _ _ I [A] was a _ model. _
Thanks to _ _ pictures, _ _ _ _ _ I robbed _ my _ [A] own kind. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _
I lost my _ book, [D] yes, I thought [A] I paid my dues.
[Em] _ _ _
[F] I _ _ sued [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] my style, [C] _
_ [G] _ _ yes, so _ _ Spidey John [F] took a look, _ _
_ [G] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ take _ _ [Am] a right turn.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ That is [A] all [C] my Spidey done.
_ [D] I've spent nearly 30 years since I took to the [Am] road
to find [C] my precious _ _
[G] jewel _ one.
[C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] If you [C] see my Lily, _ _
_ [D] could you give her my [G] regard? _
Tell the [A] rose [Am]-spotted guy, Tangle, in the black well [G] that he spun. _
_ You _ can tell the [Am] rose-spotted guy, Tangle, in [G] _ _ _
the [A] black well [C] that he spun. _
