Brilliant tune from a brilliant long awaited new album - there s a tricky
strumming pattern to this tune but you should get it with practice.
Sorry about the tab title - I got it wrong and now UG won t let me change it.

Verse 1:
My love, my love, you re the sting of the scorpion
Consider, now, the angels, a little lower than you
And they twist and they turn, and they hold their breath til it s blue
And they can t turn away like I can t, when you re lookin like you do
Pre-chorus:
Well looky Black Betty, what they tying to you
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web
I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in
Verse 2:
My heart, my heart, you re the moon and her shining light
Darkness in void of form, like you were keeping me alive
And I ve been dreaming of poisonings from the venom of my enemies
Clever as the viper dear, but gentle as a stampede of stones
Pre-chorus:
Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web
I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in
Chorus:
And they want you to doubt every trust that you ve known
And they wanna find the holes in the armor exposed
And they come on whispering,
If you just do this for me...
And turn and show their teeth just before they re sinking in
And better than described and deeper the descent
I never thought we d have to learn to doubt our friends
And better than described, so much deeper the descent
I never thought we d have to learn to doubt our friends
Outro:
Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web
I hope the money fills the holes cause see the roof is caving in
Looky Black Betty, what they tying to you
You did the very thing, baby, that I asked you not to do
And now you got yourself caught in the silk spider web
I hope the money fills the holes in the place I used to stand
