Verse 1:

[D5] Diamonds and pearls don't move this [D5]girl

She could be [E5]icy cold to the crawl[E5]

[D5] One of her lungs breathes in anot[D5]her world

While the [E5]other sticks around to blow you [E5]off

[D5] Even when the four winds blow,

[D5]she kinda passes by like she don't [E5]feel it, no mama she don't feel [E5]it

[D5] One of these days I'm gonna [D5]dive into her waves and

[E5] bring back the meaning of it all[E5]

Chorus 1:

So[C5]fia, I [G5]need ya, like a [D5]junkie needs a [E5]vein

And I wanna [C5]feel ya, So[G5]fia

D5 E5
Fallin' down.... on me like rain

Verse 2:

[D5] They say in Ancient times, man, that women ruled the World

That the [E5]Goddess was the one who laid it down

[D5] Well, I got me a woman as alive as the day

Gonna breathe a [E5]whisper, knock you right down to the ground

[D5] So go ahead, man, and say what you came to say

"The black widow's a [E5]spider, the black widow's a spider"

[D5] Then go and prepare for your dying day

Won't take one [E5]minute 'til you're curled up dead beside her

[E5]Oh yeah!
