Boris the Spider - John Entwistle From The Who's album "A Quick One" Bass tabbed by beatle@dial.pipex.com Here, I have tabbed the bass line. The guitar chords follow the notes in the bass but are played with no third. The chord which starts the second measure of each phrase is strummed once using the complete chord. eg The intro goes D5 Db5 C5 B5 Bb5 F5 / G OK here we go, Intro; || --------------------------|-------------------------- || ||*--------------------------|--------------------------*|| ||*--5--4--3--2--1-----------|--------------------------*|| || --------------------1-----|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-- || Verse; |--------3--3--------------|--------------------------| |--------------3--3--5--5--|--------------------------| |--5--5--------------------|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--5--5--------3--3--------|--------------------------| |--------5--5--------3--3--|--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--5--5--------3--3--------|--------------------------| |--------5--5--------3--3--|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--5--5--------3--3--------|--------------------------| |--------5--5--------3--3--|--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| Chorus; || --------------------------|-------------------------- || ||*--------------------------|--------------------------*|| ||*--5--4--3--2--1-----------|--------------------------*|| || --------------------1-----|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-- || Bridge X3 || -------------------------------- || h = hammer on ||*--------------------------------*|| p = pull off ||*--------------------------------*|| || -2h3p2h3p2h3p2h3-2h3p2h3p2h3p2h3 || Ending Chorus; |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--5--4--3--2--1-----------|--------------------------| |--------------------1-----|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--5--4--3--2--1-----------|--------------------------| |--------------------1-----|--3-----------------------| Order; Intro Verse-Chorus Verse-Chorus Bridge Verse-Chorus Bridge Verse-Ending Chorus Lyrics Look, he's crawling up my wall Black and hairy, very small Now he's up above my head Hanging by a little thread Boris the spider Boris the spider Now he's dropped on to the floor Heading for the bedroom door Maybe he's as scared as me Where's he gone now, I can't see Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly There he is wrapped in a ball Doesn't seem to move at all Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure Pick this book up off the floor Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly He's come to a sticky end Don't think he will ever mend Never more will he crawl 'round He's embedded in the ground Boris the spider Boris the spider
