SPIDER WEB As recorded by Joan Osborne (From the 1995 Album RELISH) [Intro] N.C. Gm [Verse 1] I dreamed about Ray Charles last night And he could see just fine you know I asked him for a lullaby. He said "Honey I don’t sing no more" No more no more no more No more Ray don’t sing no more [Verse 2] He said "Since I got my eyesight back my voice has just deserted me No ’Georgia On My Mind’ no more. I stay in bed with MTV" Then Ray took his glasses off and I could look inside his head Flashing like a thunderstorm I saw a shining spider web Spider web spider web spider web in Ray Charles’ head [Verse 3] I dreamed about Ray Charles last night He took me flying in the air Showed me my own spider web; Said "Honey you had best take care The world is made of spider webs The threads are stuck to me and you Careful what you’re wishing for ’cause when you gain you just might lose" You just might lose your spider web spider web spider web Ray Charles said [Interlude] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] When you’re feeling lonely when you’re hiding in your bed Don’t forget your string of pearls don’t forget your spider web Gm N.C. When I go to sleep tonight don’t let me dream of brother Ray N.C. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad he sees Just like him best the other way Spider web spider web spider web Ray Charles said Spider web spider web spider web Ray Charles’ head [Outro] All I got’s my spider web keepin’ me alive All I got’s my spider web keepin’ me alive Come on Ray"
