Here's a story from North America!


E B E


E                    C#m 

Daddy, daddy, daddy, hurry!


  A             C#m B   E

I saw something scu-rry!


E                    B          

"Son, what's all this screaming for?"

       C#m             A

"You're gonna wake the neighbors next door!"


E B E


E                        C#m

Daddy, I think there's a spider on my floor!


A          C#m      B          E

Is it? And will you squish it?


E                          B

"You call me in here in the middle of the night


   C#m                      A

To come into your room and destroy life.."


E                 B             E

"Is that what they teach you in Sunday School?"


E                                 C#m

But Daddy, it's gross; it's got a million legs!


  A               C#m      B     E

A billion eyes! A trillion eggs!


E                              B

"Son, it's not disgusting, it's just reality;


C#m                    A

Take a deep breath and appreciate life!"


E B E


E                     B

"Look how delicate his legs are,


C#m                  A

Crawling across your bedroom floor!"


E               B

"Do you know the proper name?"


 C#m               A

Arachnid! "That's right!"


E                              B

"We're living in a world that's full of creatures,"=


C#m            A

Big and small, hairy and slimy,


E               B             E

You are not the center of the world."


E                       B

"How would you feel if a giant hand


C#m                       A

Came out of the sky and decided to crush you?"


E B E


E                          C#m

I guess I'd be scared, but Daddy!


A           C#m    B        E

What if the spider hurts me?


*pause* (maybe turn a page if you're doing this live)


E                       B

"He didn't hurt you yet, did he, son?


     C#m                  A

Your logic is flawed, you come undone!"


C            B     E

"Swallow your pride."


E                           B

"What if the spider said the same thing:


C#m           A

Daddy, daddy, kill that kid!"


E B E


E                      C#m

That's the point, dad! What if he did?


A            C#m     B      E

That's why I have to strike first!


E

"What if he did?"

B

"What if he didn't?"

C#m                   A

"What if the world was made of pudding?"


E B E


E                    B

"All I'm saying is consider

C#m

Something

A
Besides your


E           B     E

Thirst, for blood"


E

Dad, you're right!


C#m

Now I see!


A          C#m   B    E

Maybe he's got a family!


E

Now you're learning,


B

Understanding,


C#m            A             

Finally you're becoming human!!!


E B E


E                       B

Let's return him to his natural habitat -


C#m                  A

Put him in a cup and take him outside


E     B

 Godspeed.
