I would like to submit a file to be posted to OLGA. This is my first

By the way, thanks for OLGA. It's been a godsend for me. 
 
 
The Spider and the Fly by the Rolling Stones 
from the album, ^ÓStripped^Ô, 1996. 
Words and music by M. Jagger and K. Richards(whoever they are) 
transcribed and submitted by Vance Augustine 
 
 
The song is pretty simple. It^Òs your basic 3 chord blues. What really 
makes the song is the 
little walking riff they do with the guitars. On every E7 chord play it 
like this 
 

    
        Abrir tablatura
        
    
    
E--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0- 
B--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0- 
G--1---------2----------4------------2----------1----------2----------4- 
D--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0- 
A--2---------4----------5------------4----------2----------4----------5- 
E--0---------0----------0------------0----------0----------0----------0- 
 
Hit each chord form on the beat, hold the last one for two beats 
 
Then on the A7 drop down to this 
 
E--0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0-- 
B--2----------3----------5----------3----------2----------3----------5-- 
G--0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0-- 
D--2----------4----------5----------4----------2----------4----------5-- 
A--0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0----------0-- 
E--x----------x----------x----------x----------x----------x----------x-
 
 
Put it all together and it goes like this: 
 
 
 
(intro) E7 riff twice 
 
E7   riff 
Sittin^Ò thinkin^Ò sinkin^Ò drinkin^Ò 
 
E7   riff 
Wondering what I^Òll do when I^Òm thru tonight 
 
A7   riff 
Smokin^Ò mopin^Ò maybe just hopin^Ò 
 
E7    riff 
Some little girl will pass on by 
 
B7                               A7 
I don^Òt  wanna be alone     But I love my girl at home 
 
E7   riff                               C7 B7 
I remember what she said 
 
 
E7   riff 
She said, ^ÓMy, my, my   don^Òt tell lies! 
 
E7   riff 
Keep fidelity in your head! 
 
A7   riff 
My,  my,  my,  Don^Òt tell lies 
 
E7  riff 
When you^Òve done your show hit the bed 
 
B7                                 A7 
Don^Òt say  ^ÓHi^Ô,   like a spider to a fly 
 
E7   riff                                        C7 B7  
Jump right ahead and your dead! 
 
Sit up, fed up, low down, go round 
Down to the bar at the place I^Òm at 
Sittin^Ò, drinkin^Ò,  superficially thinkin^Ò 
about the rinsed out blonde on my left 
and then I said ^ÓHi^Ò, like a spider to a fly 
Remembering what my little girl said 
 
(harmonica solo) 
 
she was spiffy, shifty 
she looked about fifty 
I would have run away but I was on my own 
She told me later she was a machine operator 
she said she liked the way I held the microphone 
I said, ^ÓMy, my, my,  like a spider to a fly 
Jump right ahead in my web!^Ô 
 
(guitar solo and end)
