Alex Chilton Cifras

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.

[Verse]
G              G/F#           Fadd9          Am7
If he was from Venus would he feed us with a spoon
G              G/F#              Asus2
If he was from Mars then that be cool
G                 G/F#            Fadd9         Am7
Standin' right on campus would he stamp us in a file
G               G/F#            Asus2
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while
 
 
     G              G/F#           Fadd9            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 Asus2 in verses is played the same as shown above for the intro.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em              Dsus2                  Cadd9
Children by the millions wait for Alex Chilton
              Dsus2
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.
