Re-recorded and remastered, bringing it closer to the sound we first imagined, this Friday the 13th Edition features new vocals and a rebuilt instrumental. Blake and Gloom revisit the song's mix of acoustic guitar, orchestral arrangements and dark pop, with the same tangled story at its centre.
I've got a graveyard that is all my own
I carve the headstones like wood on a tree
I've written epitaphs for each like photographs
From when they sat with me when I was Queen
Some say I drove them mad, others I killed them dead
I ripped their hearts from right where they stood
And some say Franksteined, that I controlled their mind
But really all I did was this
I gave my all and know that I
And know that I was
But that was purely poisonous
And oh-so-deadly to touch
Widow me this and Widow me that
Grab my web and spin it with me
Drink my wine, and take my alibi
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep
So Widow me this and Widow me that
Grab my web and spin it with me
Oh drink my wine, take my alibi
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep
Oh I'll sing you to sleep
I've got an orchard with an apple tree
I count the fruits like graves in a field
I pin their names on just like autographs
But still it feels like none of it's real
Some say I stole their youth, others I hid the truth
I ripped their hearts from right where they stood
And some say Franksteined, I locked them in my mind
But really all I did was this
I gave my all and know that I, and know that I failed
Wish I could change... change everything
But that ship's already sailed
Widow me this and Widow me that
Grab my web and spin it with me
Oh drink my wine, and take my alibi
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep
So Widow me this and Widow me that
Grab my web and spin it with me
Oh drink my wine, take my alibi
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep
Oh I'll sing you to sleep
I turn the pages, a flood of memories
A list of nothings that no one could read
Hollow engravings, carved out and venomous
A truth that breathes words that can't be unseen
Some say they cut so deep, through wounds that freshly weep
An itch that's raw, straight down to the vein
And some say time can heal, but do they really feel
The words that force it all to bleed out again
Widow me this and Widow me that
Grab my web and spin it with me
Oh drink my wine, and take my alibi
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep
So Widow me this and Widow me that
Grab my web and spin it with me
Oh drink my wine, take my alibi
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep
So Widow me this and Widow me that
Grab my web and spin it with me
Oh drink my wine, take my alibi
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep
Oh I'll sing you to sleep

Acoustic Guitar tabs
Learn to play the guitar intro from "Widow Me This F13". This song has a capo on the 3rd fret, so make sure to place your capo there before you start playing if you want to match the original recording.
The intro is finger picked, but let's start with a strummable chord version. This will give you an idea of the chord shapes that are used in the song.
With those chords under your fingers, you can start to learn the finger picking pattern. The tabs below show the finger picking pattern for the intro. The pattern is repeated throughout the song, so once you learn it, you'll be able to play along with the whole track!
If you're finding it a bit challenging, try it without the second pluck of the 6th/5th string. This will give you a simFler pattern to start with, and you can work your way up to the full pattern as you get more comfortable with the chords and finger placement.
