C               G           C
Once there was a bee named Spider 
C                          G
His legs were all long and lean 
         F                                    Am
He was always in the fields workin' on his flying 
C                   G        C
So to impress her lady the queen 

C               G           C
Once there was a queen named Gioma 
C                           G
She was doted upon by all her worker bees 
        F                       Am
They guarded her from all her enemies 
         C       G                   C
Fed her honey to keep the monarchy pleased 

C      G    C          C                         G          
Spider and Gioma had a love few others had ever seen 
          F
But it was met with some disdain 
   Am
By those we do not name 
     C                     G                 C
So a plan was hatched to see young Spider gone 

Riff (not quite right yet)
A:3 2 0
E:      3 1 3s8 3 1 3s7 3 1 3 8(c)

C                  G                             C
Then there came a time when they had to leave the old city 
C                                        G
The scouts danced out all that they had seen 
      F
For a new royal had been born 
                Am
And they blamed Spider for his scorn 
  C                    G             C
He brought this blight upon their majesty 

C      G    C          C         Am      F       G          
Oh Spider and Gioma. Don't you leave our hearts too soon 
      Em
For what she did not know 
    G
Of a scuffle down below 
    D                     Em                      
Left Spider cast out to the cold, cast out to the cold 

Bridge:
Em G Em Am G D* x2
Em G Am B C Am G (there seems to be a little riff at the end, to end on the C, something like 
D* = you play D, but put the lower E side on second fret, 
u can also play it like a solo 0 3 0 5 3 2 (E side)

C                   G
She awoke in her new land 
                 F              C   Am
And something had happened to her man
Am             F     C        G
She started searchin' high and low 
C                    G                  F        C    Am
And what have you all to give if you need to kill to live
Am             F                      C   G
She knew there was only one place she could go 

F              G           Am          D
She left her new city never to see it again 
F              G           Am          
Saying something about how only a queen can kill a queen 
F              G         
In her old city she knelt 
     Am          D
And the new queen aksed her how her people felt 

G Em Am G F Em Am (repeat)
I will lay my people down 
I will lay my people down 
I will lay my people down 
I will lay my people down...
