The Black Crowes
Song Title: Spider In The Sugar Bowl Blues
TBC Original? Yes
Written By: Chris and Rich Robinson
Recording Session: Unknown
Record: Never Released
Live Debut: 11/23/1996
Shows: 31 times played live
Notes: This was written on the 3 Snakes Fall Tour, originating as an instrumental jam on
in Kansas City. Throughout October and into November it was played as an intro to My
Song, Thorn In My Pride and Bring On, Bring On. It was recorded at Sound Of Music 
in Richmond, VA on 11/21/96 and debuted with lyrics on 11/23/96 in Charlotte. The studio
is played with acoustic guitars, similar to the arrangement that the band played at The 
on 2/22/97.

It was often played live on the Europe 97' and Furthur Tours and appeared on early
cassettes of Band, but did not appear on the version of the album submitted to their record
at the time. Like the other Sound Of Music recordings, the studio recording of Spider In 
Sugar Bowl Blues does not circulate in trading circles.

for the verse/chorus tab for this song.

Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G), with a capo at the 3rd fret.  All notes are relative to the
 This song has been played by The Crowes without the capo, in which case you would just
the tab normally (all the notes would be in relation to the nut).

Interchange outro riffs A, B, and C as you feel necessary.  Rich doesn't play the part
