This is tabbed ok….when you play along to the song it sounds better…(the intro/verse bit) I cant quite get the chorus right, it sounds ok for now. PLZ RATE!

Hope this helps ~ *~X Closter X~* 

Tuning ~ standard {EADGBE}

Verse + intro

    (1)                                    (2)

                                                 "..my right eye..”
E -----------------------------------[------------------------------------]
B ---------2------------2------------[------------------------------------]
G ------3-----3-----3-----3----------[-----------1--------------1---------]
D ----3----------4-------------------[-------3------3-------3------3------]
A -----------------------------------[----4--------------3----------------]
E  ----------------------------------[------------------------------------]

Ok…so u play ^^this (1) riff about 4 times for the intro…. then when he goes up, my right eye, you change to riff 2…. then go back to riff 1…. its simple if you listen to the song.

LYRICS!

there's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror
right on top of my right eye
and i can't stop staring back
how did i get this way
take a big look at a living lie 

rags to rags and rust to rust
how do you stand when you've been crushed
so rags to riches was a bust 

sometimes i dream about it
what it's like back home
the railroad tracks and the pussywillow
but i had to leave it
now i go back whenever my tired head hits the pillow 

rags to rags and rust to rust
how do you stand when you've been crushed
so rags to riches was a bust 
busted once again

well i'll show them one day
that i can buy and sell the world 
and one day i'll come through my american dream
but it won't mean a f***ing thing 

rags to rags and rust to rust
how do you stand when you've been crushed
so rags to rags and rust to rust
don't let me go
