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

^GIf he was from ^G/F#Mars then that be ^A9cool G G/F# FaddG Am7 Standin' right on campus would he stamp us in a file ^GHangin' down in ^G/F#Memphis all the ^A9while

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:

^EmChildren by the ^D9millions wait for Alex ^C9Chilton When he comes ^D9round

Sayin' I'm in love.... (This part is the same as intro) Bridge: Cm7 (Eb'') Bb Never travel too far

^CmWithout a little Big ^DStar

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
