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:

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]If he was from [G/F#]Venus would he [FaddG]feed us with a [Am7]spoon
[G]If he was from [G/F#]Mars then that be [A9]cool
[G]Standin' right on [G/F#]campus would he [FaddG]stamp us in a [Am7]file
[G]Hangin' down in [G/F#]Memphis all the [A9]while

[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:

[Em]Children by the [D9]millions wait for Alex [C9]Chilton
When he comes [D9]round


Sayin' I'm in love.... (This part is the same as intro)

Bridge:

Cm7 (Eb') Bb
Never travel too far
[Cm]Without a little Big [D]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.
