Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice. Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face. Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place. Pre-Chorus Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes round Chorus They sing, I'm in love, what's that song I'm in love, with that song Bridge ----------------------------------------------| -4------------------4-------------------------| -3-------------3----3---------------------7---| -5-------------3----5---------------------7---| -5-------------3----5---------------------7---| ----------------------------------------------| I never travel far, with out a little Big Star Solo (tabbed in Open A) (over Intro pattern) ---------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------| -4p2p0-0-------0--4p2p0-0----------4p2p0-0-------0-| ---------2-0-2------------2-0-2------------2-0-2---| --------------------------------2------------------| ---------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------| -4p2p0--7p5p4--9h11p9h11p9h11p9h11p9h11p9-----| ----------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------15-----| -14-16-16b17-16b17--16b17p14----------14-16b17-16b17p14-----17b18--| -----------------------------16-14-16-------------------16---------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| Verse 3 Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards. Falling asleep with a flop pop video on. If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon? If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.
