Spiders (Kidsmoke) by Jeff Tweedy/Wilco (Solo Live Version)
Tune to drop d (DADGBE) and put a capo on fret 3 or 4 (or whatever you're comfortable with)
#1 - Intro and secondary rhythmic part (between vocals)
#2 - Bridge (you fool with me a kiss of kidsmoke)
#3 - Outro (I'll be in my bed... you can be the stone...) the last half is the same as
last half of the bridge -- listen to it and you can figure it out
CHORDS: D G Em A
[(#1)]
[D]Spiders are singing in the salty breeze
[G]Spiders are filling out tax returns
[D]Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies
[G]On a private beach in Michigan
[(#1)]
[D]Why can't they wish their kisses good
[G]Why do they miss when their kisses should
[D]Fly like winging birds fighting for the keys
[G]On a private beach in Michigan
[Em]This recent rash of kidsmok[A]e (this part you play #2)
[Em]All these telescopic poems[A][Em]
It's [G]good to be alone
[(#1)]
[D]Why can't they say what they want
[G]Why can't they just say what they mean
[D]Come clean, listen and talk
[G]Hello private callers, IDs blocked
[D]The sun will rise, we'll climb into cars
[G]The future has a valley and a shortcut around
[D]Who will wear the crown of drowning award
[G]Hold a private light on a Michigan shore
[Em]You fool me with a kiss of kidsmoke [A] (this part you play #2)
[Em]From a microscopic home[A][Em]
It's g[G]ood to be alone
[(#3)]
I'll be in my bed
You can be the stone
That raises from the dead
And carries us all home
There's no blood on my hands
I just do as I am told
