I kind of cheat by using a capo on the 2nd fret, but you still get the general feel and sound of the song. Alex Chilton (Capo on 2nd fret) Intro: Em D9 C9 (4x) A9 G A9 Asus4 Em D9 C9 E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E ----------- ----------- ----------- 0 2 2 0 0 0 X X 0 2 3 0 X 3 2 0 3 0 A9 G Asus4 E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E ----------- ----------- ----------- X 0 2 2 0 0 3 X 0 0 3 3 X 0 2 2 3 0 Verse: G G/F# FaddG Am7 If he was from Venus would he feed us with a spoon G G/F# A9 If he was from Mars then that be cool G G/F# FaddG Am7 Standin' right on campus would he stamp us in a file G G/F# A9 Hangin' down in Memphis all the while G G/F# FaddG Am7 E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- 3 2 0 0 3 3 2 X 0 0 3 3 X X 3 0 1 3 X 0 2 0 1 3 The A9 in verses is played the same as shown above for the intro. Chorus: Em D9 C9 Children by the millions wait for Alex Chilton D9 When he comes round Sayin' I'm in love.... (This part is the same as intro) Bridge: Cm7 (Eb??) Bb Never travel too far Cm D Without a little Big Star Cm7 Bb Cm D E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- X 3 5 3 4 3 X 1 3 3 3 X X 3 5 5 4 3 X X 0 2 3 2 That first chord may actually be an Eb, not a Cm7, in which case you should play it: Eb E A D G B E ----------- X 6 5 3 4 3 But that essentially covers all parts of the song. I haven't tabbed out the lead (anyone else want to give it a shot??), which is played over the chords from the intro. Hope someone finds this useful. Ben McTernan bc80233@bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu
