Intro: G Emin7 Bm9
       G Emin7 Bm9

Note: The acoustic version is just strum it all the way. But for the
      recorded version in their album, there is no acoustic only the
      electric guitar. So for the electric guitar will strum once at a
      time when the chords change.

Verse 1:

Bm9 G   Emin7 Bmin7
          Oh no, I see,
            F         Am9            G
          A spider web is tangled up with me,

                Emin7       Bmin7
          And I lost my head,

          F                   Am9              G
          And thought of all the stupid things I’d said,

Verse 2:

Gmaj  Emin7      Bmin7
   Oh no, what’s this,

   F                 Am9                 G
   A spider web and I’m caught in the middle,

   Gmaj Emin7       Bmin7
   So I turned to run,

       F              Am9                G
   And thought of all the stupid things I’ve done,

Note: Again these chords given can be played in acoustic guitar but for
      the electric guitar it is A7sus4 all the way using a kind of
      plucking or harmonic. Just listen to the song.

Chorus:

A                           Emin7
Ah, I never meant to cause you trouble,

A                        Emin7
Ah, I never meant to do you wrong,

A                          Emin7
Ah, well if I ever caused you trouble,

A                           Emin7
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm,

Note: For the electric guitar is given in the tabs below. Use a slider.
      \ means slide down or slide to the lower note. / means slide up
      or slide to the higher note. ~ means vibrate or shiver your
      slider on that note.

Verse 3:

Acoustic Guitar:   Gmaj Emin7 Bmin7    
                     Oh no, I see,

Acoustic Guitar: F                  Am9             G
                 A spider web and it’s me in the middle,

                 d|---------------------------
                 b|-------------------12\10\8-

                 E|---------------------------
Acoustic Guitar:   Gmaj Emin7     Bmin7
                   So I twist and turn,

                 d|---------------------------------
                 b|---13/////////////////////14/16~-
Electric Guitar: G|---------------------------------
                 D|---------------------------------
                 A|---------------------------------
                 E|---------------------------------
Acoustic Guitar:   F             Am9             G
                   And here am I in my little bubble,

Note: Same as the first chorus.

Chorus:

A                                Emin7
Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,

A                    Emin7     
I never meant to do you wrong,

       A                            Emin7
Singing out, well if I ever caused you trouble,

A                           Emin7
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm,

Note: Follow the same timing for all these three parts, electric, bass
      & electric guitar. I put up the bass too because it holds the
      back of the timing & also the groove for the piano.
      There is a '~' in between two bars, which means vibrate on the
      fret itself with the slider. Or slowly slide down with one pluck
      on that string.
