Here are the chords for this song as closely as I could figure them out.
He played it somewhat differently on Saturday Night Live, so I'm
including what I hear on the CD, but also noting where he seemed to do
things differently. Also take note of a weird chord that I don't know
the name of that I've marked with asterisks and included a crude tab of
how it is played.
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm (CAPO ON 3RD FRET)
Intro:
Once there was this kid who
F C G# C (He played a G, not G#)
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
G# C/F** F (Note the weird chord: it's like this
The cars had smashed soooo hard oE|---|---|---|
oB|---|---|---|
oG|---|---|---|
D|---|---|-0-|
A|---|---|-0-|
CHORUS: E|---|---|---|
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Then there was this girl who
F C G# C (He played G; not G#
Wouldn't go to change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
C/F**
They'd always just been there
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Both girl and boy were glad
One kid had it worse than that
'Cause then there was a boy whose
F C G# C (Again, he plays G
Parents made him come right home directly after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
C/F**
They'd always just gone there
CHORUS
Outro is the same progression as the bridge
Enjoy.
