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* A* F* Am F Am F
A* F*
There's a spider crawling
A* F*
On the bathroom mirror
A* F*
Right on top of my right eye
A* F*
And I can't stop staring back
A* F*
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
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*
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

A* F* A* F*
And one day I’ll come through
My American dream
A* F*
But it won't mean a fucking 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!
Rags to rags and rust to rust don't let me go!
Rags to rags and rust to rust don't let me go!
