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.
