Chords with lyrics
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: E minorEm D9D9 C9C9 (4x) A9A9 G+G A9A9 Asus4Asus4

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. Ben McTernan [email protected]
