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:
Em Bm Em Bm F G F G
Em Bm Em Bm F G F G
Am G C
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
F G C
But when he finally came back
G C F C G
His hair had turned from black into bright white
G# C
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|---|---|---|

Am G C
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
F C G C
But when they finally made her
G C F C G
They saw birthmarks all over her body
G# C
She couldn't quite explain it
G# C/F** F
They'd always just been there
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Dm C G
Both girl and boy were glad
Dm C G F G
One kid had it worse than that
Am G C
'Cause then there was a boy whose
F C G# C (Again, he plays G
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
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
G# C
He couldn't quite explain it
G# C/F** F
They'd always just gone there
CHORUS
Outro is the same progression as the bridge
Enjoy.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRASH TEST DUMMIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
