G    D           G          D         G
Now, Christopher Columbus, a-livin' in Spain
D       G            D        A
Showed capacity for usin' his brain
D            G         D           G
Studied his geography, had it down pat
D       G                       A          D
Said, "I'm gonna prove that the world ain't flat!"

Queen Isabella, one night,
D                    G
Gave him three small boats
G
One, two, three
 
G         D                G      D         G
Now, the boats were kinda leaky, started to sail
D       G            D       A
Came a hurricane, a furious gale
D           G          D            G
Waves were a-lashin', future looked black
D               G         A           D
Sailors started yellin', "Chris, turn back!"
         G            A                 D
On that eventful day, what did Columbus say?

Old Man Adversity gonna have his bluff called

Now, don't think Columbus was the only one

Came the enemy to threaten his throne
D                 G       D           G
Twice he went to battle, twice he met defeat
D              G         A   D
Headed for the highlands in retreat
 
   G
He thought he'd give up the fight
           A                           D         G
But it so happened one night he saw a spider at work
G
Back and forth, and back, up and down, and up
D            G                   D       G
Spider kept a-swingin', swingin' on his thread
D         G           D        A
Tried to hook it to a limb overhead
D             G          D            G
Spider kept a-missin' ev'ry time he tried
D                   G
You're never goin' to make it!
A         D
Robert cried
