And he could see just fine, you know

No more, no more, no more,
Eb D Gm

He said, "Since I got my eyesight back, my voice has just deserted me

No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more. I stay in bed with MTV"

Then Ray took his glasses off and I could look inside his head
Gm
Flashing like a thunderstorm, I saw a shining spider web

The threads are stuck to me and you

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

When you're feelin' lonely
When you're hidin' in your bed
Don't forget your string of pearls
Don't forget your spider web

Don't let me dream of brother Ray
No, no, no, don'
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees
Just like him best the other way

In Ray Charles head
All I got's my spider web
Keepin' me alive
