Here's how I play it. 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:
Verse:
If he was from Venus would he feed us with a spoon
If he was from Mars then that be cool
Standin' right on campus would he stamp us in a file
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while
The A9 in verses is played the same as shown above for the intro.
Chorus:
Children by the millions wait for Alex Chilton
When he comes round
Sayin' I'm in love.... (This part is the same as intro)
Bridge:
Cm7 (Eb??) Bb
Never travel too far
Without a little Big Star
That first chord may actually be an Eb, not a Cm7, in which case you
should play it:
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.
