[Verse 1]
G              Dsus2/F#       Cadd9               Asus4
If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?
G              Dsus2/F#       A(sus4)
If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?
G              Dsus2/F#       Cadd9               Asus4
Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?
G              Dsus2/F#       A(sus4)
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while.

[Chorus]
Em               Dsus2                 Cadd9                 Dsus2
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round

         Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
They sing "I'm in love
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
What's that song?
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
I'm in love
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
With that song."

[Verse 2] (same as Verse 1)
Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.
Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.
Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.
Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place.

[Chorus]
Em               Dsus2                 Cadd9                 Dsus2
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round

         Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
They sing "I'm in love
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
What's that song?
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
I'm in love
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
With that song."

[Bridge]
Cm7            Bb   Cm7                 Dsus2
I never travel far, without a little Big Star

[Solo] (Same as Intro)

[Verse 3] (Same as Verse 1)
Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards.
Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.
If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?
If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.

[Chorus]
Em               Dsus2                 Cadd9                 Dsus2
Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round

         Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
They sing "I'm in love
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
What's that song?
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
I'm in love
Em  Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Cadd9 Cadd9
With that song."
