G 
The itsy-bitsy spider 
D7                G 
Went up the water spout. 
G                
Down came the rain and 
F                 G 
Washed the spider out. 

G             
Out came the sun and 
D7               G 
Dried up all the rain 

And the itsy-bitsy spider 
D7                 G 
Went up the spout again. 

G 
The itsy-bitsy spider 
D7            G 
Spun a spiral web 
G                
Caught a grasshopper 
F                   G 
Whose life began to ebb 

G 
Sucked up the juices 
D7              G 
And grew a size that day 

So the itsy-bitsy spider 
D7              G 
Rebuilt the web array 

G 
The itsy bitsy spider 
D7               G 
Laid a clutch of eggs 
G                
Out hatched the spiderlings 
F               G 
Each with all 8 legs 

G 
Spun a little web 
D7                      G 
And ballooned into the sky 

So the itsy bitsy spider 
D7                G 
Was happy then to die
