From the album Wilderness [INTRO] G [VERSE 1]
         G
In the shadows, in the bushes, 

         C                 G
in the space between the leaves

    C           G
A spider in a thicket 

  D               G
crawled up on my knee

           G
I put my gloves on, put my hat on, 

       C             G
and I ran from the trees

          C             G
But that little black spider 

         D            G
came a-crawling after me
[CHORUS]
           C             G
From the shadows in the bushes, 

         C                 G
in the space between the leaves

   C             G 
A little black spider 

         D                G
came a-crawling home with me
[VERSE 2]
     G           
It crawled across my window 

      C               G
as I lay me down to sleep

        C             G
In the morning on my pillow 

    D            G
it waited patiently

      G
And then came the ants, 

      C             G
the frogs and the snakes

  C              G
Slithering and sliding 

  D                      G
through my clean white sheets
[CHORUS]
 C                 G
Rustling from the bushes, 

  C                 G
creeping from the leaves

C             G
Every awful creature 

         D            G
came a-crawling over me
[INTERLUDE] G C G C G D G [VERSE 3]
   G        
I crushed them and killed them, 

          C            G
but they came all the more

      C         G
So I ran in my nightshirt 

 D            G
out onto the lawn

        G            
But I tripped upon a tree root 

           C                G
and they swarmed from the weeds

   C               G
A million little teeth 

 D          G
tore me to pieces
[CHORUS]
         C              G
In the shadows of the thicket 

 C                        G
rain poured through the leaves

            C               G
And I was scattered in the mud 

   D                   G
beneath the dripping trees
[VERSE 4]
          G
But from here and from there, 

     C        G
from every direction

 C             G
Little voices sang 

D                G
under twigs and mosses

        G
And I swarmed and I gathered 

C                G
under logs and leaves

    C             G
I crawled and I slithered 

D               G
under rotting trees
[CHORUS]
        C             G
In the tangle of the bushes, 

      C              G
underneath the wet leaves

      C        G
I am many and nothing 

        D                G
and I crawl up on your knee
[OUTRO]
        C             G
In the tangle of the bushes, 

      C              G
underneath the wet leaves

      C        G
I am many and nothing 

        D                G
and I crawl up on your knee
G
