Glass Spider

Em
Up until one century ago there lived
       Em                      Bm
In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country
             Bm
A glass-like spider

Having devoured its prey
Em                   G
  It would drape the skeletons over its web
         A                  Bm
In weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains

Its web was also unique, in that it had many layers
     Bm          C         Bm
Like floors in a building
       Bm
At the top of this palace-like place
                                     Em
Assembled with almost apparent care
                   Em
Were tiny, shining objects
              Em
Glass, beads, dewdrops
G                                  C
One could almost call it an altar
                                                G
When the breeze blew through this construction
                                       Bm
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
                        C   F
Tiny wails, tiny cries
Em
  The baby spiders would get scared

And search frantically for their mother
                                     Bm
But the glass spider would have long gone

Having known that the babies
                               Bm
Would survive somehow on their own
        Em
Oh, the glass spider had blue eyes almost like a human's
                                F
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries


[Verse 1]
C
 Don't you hear this wasted cry, life is over you
Am
 (Mommy come back because the water's all gone)
           F             G                          Am
But you've seen who's in Heaven, is there anyone in Hell?
Am
Mommy come back because it's dark now

[Verse 2]
     C
Take care, take care
Am
 (Mommy come back  because the water's all gone)
F                            G             C
 Somewhere she glows divine, somewhere she wakes alone
                C                       Am
But you, you've promised in your loving eye
         C
God it's dark now
Am
(Mommy come back because it's dark now)
 Am           F
(Ja ja ja ja ja)
 F            C
(Ja ja ja ja ja)
 C            Am
(Ja ja ja ja ja)


[Verse 3]
C
Gone, Gone the water's all gone
 Am
(Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
F
 Stay low on the ground
    G                   C
The fire can drive you, savage and afraid
C
Spitting the dawn, come along before the animals awake
 Am
(Gone, gone, the water's all gone)
 Am
(Mommy come back because it's dark now)
                     F
Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left
        G
If your mama don't love ya' then the riverbed might
Am
Gone, gone, the water's all gone
 Am
(Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
 Am          F
(Ja ja ja ja ja)
 F           G
(Ja ja ja ja ja)
 G           C
(Ja ja ja ja ja)


[Bridge]
Am
Gone gone the water's all gone
Am
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Am
Gone gone the water's all gone
Am
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Am
Gone gone the water's all gone
Am  N.C.
Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
