TAB for Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm (Crash Test Dummies)
Tabbed by Bernardo Siu ()
Added To UG By Mikhailo
(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
e|---------0-----|---------0-----|---------3-----|---------1-----|
B|---1-----1--1--|---1-----1--1--|---3-----3--3--|---1-----1--1--|
G|---0--------0--|---2--------2--|---4--------4--|---2--------2--|
D|------2--------|------2--------|------5--------|------3--------|
A|---3-----------|---0-----------|---------------|---------------|
E|---------------|---------------|---3-----------|---1-----------|
G# Em Bm
e|---------4-----|---------0-----|---------2-----|
B|---4-----4--4--|---0-----0--0--|---3-----3--3--|
G|---5--------5--|---0--------0--|---4--------4--|
D|------6--------|------2--------|------4--------|
A|---------------|---------------|---------------|
E|---4-----------|---0-----------|---2-----------|
Dm Cmaj7(Add F)
e|---------1-----|---------0-----|
B|---3-----3--3--|---0-----0--0--|
G|---2--------2--|---0--------0--|
D|------0--------|------3--------|
A|---0-----------|---3-----------|
E|---------------|---------------|
So if the chords are, say, Am G G C you should play:
Am G G C
e|---------0-------------3--------------3---------------0-----|
B|---1-----1--0----3-----3--3-----3-----3--0------1-----1--1--|
G|---2--------0----4--------4-----4--------0------0--------0--|
D|------2-------------5--------------5---------------2--------|
A|---0--------------------------------------------3-----------|
E|-----------------3--------------3---------------------------|

[Intro]
Em Bm Em Bm F G F G
Am G C C
Once there was this kid who
F C G C
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
F F G C
But when he finally came back
G C F C G G G
His hair had turned from black into bright white
G# C
He said that it was from when
G# Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F F
The cars had smashed soooo hard
[CHORUS]
Em Bm Em Bm F G F G
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Am G C C
Once there was this girl who
F C G C
Wouldn't go to change with the girls in the change room
F C G C
But when they finally made her
G C F C G G G
They saw birthmarks all over her body
G# C
She couldn't quite explain it
G# Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F F
They'd always just been there
[CHORUS]
Em Bm Em Bm F G F G
Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
Am G C C
Once there was this girl who
F C G# C
Wouldn't go to change with the girls in the change room
F C G C
But when they finally made her
G C F C G G G
They saw birthmarks all over her body
G# C
She couldn't quite explain it
G# Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F F
They'd always just been there
[BRIDGE]
Dm Dm C G G
Both girl and boy were glad
Dm Dm C G F G
One kid had it worse than that
Am G C C
'Cause then there was a boy whose
F C G C
Parents made him come right home directly after school
F C G C
And when they went to their church
G C F C G G G
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
G# C
He couldn't quite explain it
G# Cmaj7(Add F) Cmaj7(Add F) F F
They'd always just gone there
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
e|---|
(slower) B|-1-|
Dm Dm C G Em Bm Em Bm F G G]|-0-| Let ring the last chord
D|---
A|-3-|
E|---|
