[C]Once there was a[G] bee named S[C]piderÂ
[C]His legs were all long and [G]leanÂ
He was al[F]ways in the fields workin' on his fly[Am]ingÂ
[C]So to impress her la[G]dy the qu[C]eenÂ
[C]Once there was a[G] queen named[C] GiomaÂ
[C]She was doted upon by all he[G]r worker beesÂ
They gua[F]rded her from all her en[Am]emiesÂ
Fed her h[C]oney to [G]keep the monarchy pl[C]easedÂ
[C]Spider [G]and G[C]ioma had a [C]love few others had ever s[G]eenÂ
But it was[F] met with some disdainÂ
By [Am]those we do not nameÂ
So a [C]plan was hatched to se[G]e young Spider gon[C]eÂ

E: 3 1 3s8 3 1 3s7 3 1 3 8(c)
[C]Then there came a t[G]ime when they had to leave the[C] old cityÂ
[C]The scouts danced out all that they had s[G]eenÂ
For a [F]new royal had been bornÂ
And they blamed [Am]Spider for his scornÂ
He[C] brought this blight [G]upon their maj[C]estyÂ
[C]Oh Spid[G]er an[C]d Gioma. Do[C]n't you le[Am]ave our [F]hearts t[G]oo soonÂ
For wh[Em]at she did not knowÂ
Of a[G] scuffle down belowÂ
Left[D] Spider cast out to th[Em]e cold, cast out to the coldÂ

[C]She awoke in her new[G] landÂ
And something had[F] happened to he[C]r ma[Am]n
[Am]She started sea[F]rchin'[C] high and[G] lowÂ
[C]And what have you all[G] to give if you nee[F]d to kill[C] to l[Am]ive
[Am]She knew there [F]was only one place she [C]coul[G]d goÂ
[F]She left her ne[G]w city never[Am] to see it a[D]gainÂ
