TAB for Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm (Crash Test Dummies)
Tabbed by Bernardo Siu (bsiu@malloco.ing.puc.cl)
(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
---------0----- ---------0----- ---------3----- ---------1-----
---1-----1--1-- ---1-----1--1-- ---3-----3--3-- ---1-----1--1--
---0--------0-- ---2--------2-- ---4--------4-- ---2--------2--
------2-------- ------2-------- ------5-------- ------3--------
---3----------- ---0----------- --------------- ---------------
--------------- --------------- ---3----------- ---1-----------
G# Em Bm
---------4----- ---------0----- ---------2-----
---4-----4--4-- ---0-----0--0-- ---3-----3--3--
---5--------5-- ---0--------0-- ---4--------4--
------6-------- ------2-------- ------4--------
--------------- --------------- ---------------
---4----------- ---0----------- ---2-----------
Dm Cmaj7(Add F)
---------1----- ---------0-----
---3-----3--3-- ---0-----0--0--
---2--------2-- ---0--------0--
------0-------- ------3--------
---0----------- ---3-----------
--------------- ---------------
So if the chords are, say, Am G G C you should play:
Am G G C
---------0-------------3--------------3---------------0-----
---1-----1--0----3-----3--3-----3-----3--0------1-----1--1--
---2--------0----4--------4-----4--------0------0--------0--
------2-------------5--------------5---------------2--------
---0--------------------------------------------3-----------
-----------------3--------------3---------------------------
^ Notice these differences ^
The differences written above are for transitions between chords.
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
PLAY CHORUS TWICE
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
---
(slower) -1-
Dm Dm C G Em Bm Em Bm F G -0- Let ring the last chord.

-3-
