Ok, I don't know if half of all tabbers are tone deaf or something but
the other versions of this song have quite a few errors and are a pain
to play off of. Hears my interpretation for one guitar from a live
version I have. If you can't figure out when rests, holds and chords (all of the
chorus) are placed from listening to the track, too bad.

A* F*
There's a spider crawling
A* F*
On the bathroom mirror
A* F* C Em
Right on top of my right eye
A* F*
And I can't stop staring back
A* F*
How did I get this way?
Am F G C F C
Take a big look at a living lie
G C F C
Rags to rags and rust to rust
G C F C
How do you stand when you've been crushed
G C B A* F* A* F*
So rags to riches was a bust
A* F*
Sometimes I dream about it
A* F*
What it's like back home
A* F* C Em
The railroad tracks and the pussywillow
Am F
But i had to leave it
Am F
Now i go back
Am F G C F C
Whenever my tired head hits the pillow
G C F C
Rags to rags and rust to rust
G C F C
How do you stand when you've been crushed
G C B F
So rags to riches was a bust
B F
Busted once again
B F
Well I’ll show them one day
B F G
That i can buy and sell the world

And one day I’ll come through

My American dream
A* F* G C F C
But it won't mean a fucking thing

Rags to rags and rust to rust don't let me go!
G C F C
Rags to rags and rust to rust don't let me go!
