[Intro]
N.C.  Gm
 
 
[Verse 1]
Gm
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
Gm
And he could see just fine, you know
Gm
I asked him for a lullaby. He said
Gm
"Honey, I don't sing no more"
   Eb    D           Gm
No more, no more, no more,
   Eb    D                 Gm
No more, Ray don't sing no more
 
 
[Verse 2]
Gm
He said, "Since I got my eyesight back, my voice has just deserted me
Gm
No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more. I stay in bed with MTV"
Gm
Then Ray took his glasses off and I could look inside his head
Gm
Flashing like a thunderstorm, I saw a shining spider web
       Eb   D      Gm   Eb     D                   Gm
Spider web, spider web, spider web in Ray Charles' head
 
 
[Verse 3]
Gm
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
Gm
He took me flying in the air
Gm
Showed me my own spider web; Said
Gm
"Honey, you had best take care
Gm
The world is made of spider webs
Gm
The threads are stuck to me and you
Gm
Careful what you're wishing for
Gm
'cause when you gain, you just might lose"
                                Eb   D7     Gm          Eb  D           Gm
You just might lose your spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said

[Verse 4]
Gm
When you're feeling lonely, when you're hiding in your bed
Gm
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
                             Gm
Just like him best the other way
       Eb   D      Gm          Eb  D           Gm
Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles said
       Eb   D      Gm          Eb  D   Gm
Spider web, spider web, spider web Ray Charles' head
 
 
[Outro]
Gm
All I got's my spider web, keepin' me alive
Gm
All I got's my spider web, keepin' me alive
Gm
Come on Ray"
