TAB for Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm (Crash Test Dummies)
Tabbed by Bernardo Siu (bsiu@malloco.ing.puc.cl)
(CAPO ON 3RD FRET)
This is the way I play this song on my accoustic. The following
tab is based on the chords given by Liz Myers.
For each chord written below, play the following sequence:
[C] [Am] [G] [F]
---------0----- ---------0----- ---------3----- ---------1-----
---1-----1--1-- ---1-----1--1-- ---3-----3--3-- ---1-----1--1--
---0--------0-- ---2--------2-- ---4--------4-- ---2--------2--
------2-------- ------2-------- ------5-------- ------3--------
---3----------- ---0----------- --------------- ---------------
--------------- --------------- ---3----------- ---1-----------
[G#] [Em] [Bm]
---------4----- ---------0----- ---------2-----
---4-----4--4-- ---0-----0--0-- ---3-----3--3--
---5--------5-- ---0--------0-- ---4--------4--
------6-------- ------2-------- ------4--------
--------------- --------------- ---------------
---4----------- ---0----------- ---2-----------
[Dm] [Cmaj7(Add] [F)]
---------1----- ---------0-----
---3-----3--3-- ---0-----0--0--
---2--------2-- ---0--------0--
------0-------- ------3--------
---0----------- ---3-----------
--------------- ---------------
So if the chords are, say, Am G G C you should play:
[Am] [G] [G] [C]
---------0-------------3--------------3---------------0-----
---1-----1--0----3-----3--3-----3-----3--0------1-----1--1--
---2--------0----4--------4-----4--------0------0--------0--
------2-------------5--------------5---------------2--------
---0--------------------------------------------3-----------

Intro:
[Em] [Bm] [Em] [Bm] [F] [G] [F] [G]
[Am]Once [G] there was this [C]kid [C]who
[F]Got into an [C]accident and [G#]couldn't come to [C]school
But [F]when [F]he finally [G]came [C]back
[G]His [C]hair [F]had turned from [C]black into [G]bright white[G][G]
He [G#]said that it was [C]from when
The [G#]cars had smashed [Cmaj7(Add]soooo [F)] [Cmaj7(Add] [F)] [F]ha[F]rd
CHORUS:
[Em]Mmmm Mmmm [Bm]Mmmm Mmmm, [Em]Mmmm Mmmm [Bm]Mmmm Mmmm[F][G][F][G]
[Am]Once [G] there was this [C]girl [C]who
[F]Wouldn't go to [C]change with the [G#]girls in the [C]change room
But [F]when [C] they finally [G]made [C]her
[G]They [C]saw [F] birthmarks all [C]over her [G]body[G][G]
She [G#]couldn't quite ex[C]plain it
They[G#]'d always just [Cmaj7(Add]been [F)] [Cmaj7(Add] [F)] [F]th[F]ere
PLAY CHORUS TWICE
BRIDGE:
[Dm]Both girl [Dm]and [C]boy w[G]ere glad[G]
[Dm]One kid ha[Dm]d it [C]worse t[G]han that[F][G]
'Cause [Am]then [G] there was a [C]boy [C]whose
[F]Parents made him [C]come right home di[G#]rectly after [C]school
And [F]when [C]they went to [G]their [C]church
[G]They [C]shook [F] and lurched all [C]over the [G]church floor[G][G]
He [G#]couldn't quite ex[C]plain it
They'd [G#]always just [Cmaj7(Add]gone [F)] [Cmaj7(Add] [F)] [F]there[F]
PLAY CHORUS TWICE
Outro is the same progression as the bridge. As my guitar doesn't have a
built-in fade-out :-), I end this song like this:
[C]
(slower) [---]-1-
Dm Dm C G Em Bm Em Bm F G -0- Let ring the last chord.
[---]
[-3-]
