[Intro]

Bm E A D
Bm E A Asus2 D


[Verse]

   Bm                E
we took the twine we used to use
   A                D
to tie up tight our tattered shoes
Bm                E
twisted twigs and crooked cross
  A                D 
a necklace for the deeply lost
Bm               E
Builder with the broken bricks
A             D
mother to the baby chicks
    Bm                 E
you made this world to look so nice
  A               D                A
I wonder what the next one's like?


[Chorus]

       D                   A
yellow spider, yellow leaf  
       D                   A
yellow spider, yellow leaf  
       D                   C
yellow spider, yellow leaf 
            D
confirms my deepest held belief


[Interlude]

Bm E A D 
Bm E A Asus2 D


[Verse]

  Bm                E
a note we wrote the other day
   A            D
to any mice who pass this way
   Bm                 E
on crumed and sugared countertop
    A                D
"we must insist your traffic STOP."
   Bm                  E
in their defense, they don't refuse
    A                 D
but nonetheless we've come to use
Bm                 E
snapping traps and poison beans
A          D                A 
 (far less diplomatic means) 


[Chorus]

       D                   A
orange spider, orange leaf  
       D                   A
orange spider, orange leaf  
       D                   C
orange spider, orange leaf  
            D
confirms my deepest held belief


[Interlude]

Bm E A D 
Bm E A Asus2 D


[Verse]

Bm            E
every thing I thought I'd learned
  A           D
ambition and illusion turned
   Bm            E
to drawings on a loose leaf sheet
   A                 D
of figs and fruits I couldn't eat

Bm             E
what in her do I require?
    A            D
the face of gratified desire
    Bm              E
and what in me does she require?
    A            D           A
the face of gratified desire


[Chorus]

         D                     A
brownish spider, brownish leaf  
         D                     A
brownish spider, brownish leaf  
         D                     C
brownish spider, brownish leaf  
            D                    A
confirms my deepest held belief.


[Chorus]

        D                    A
no more spider, no more leaf  
        D                    A
no more spider, no more leaf  
        D                    C
no more spider, no more leaf  
        D
no more me, no more belief.
