Biografia:
A formação do grupo se deu em Minneapolis (terra também de Hüsker Dü e Soul Asylum) em 1979 quando Paul Westerberg (guitarra, vocal), Tommy Stinson (baixo), Bob Stinson (guitarra) e Chris Mars (bateria) se reuniram pela primeira vez no porão da casa dos irmãos Stinson. Reza a lenda que o primeiro show foi um desastre, uma verdadeira baderna, farra e bebedeira. A banda ainda usava o nome The Impediments e após a apresentação, o promotor daquele show sentenciou “Vocês nunca mais vão tocar nessa cidade de novo!”.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
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]
Em D9 C9 (4x)
A9 G A9 Asus4

[Verse]
G G/F# FaddG Am7
If he was from Venus would he feed us with a spoon
G G/F# A9
If he was from Mars then that be cool
G G/F# FaddG Am7
Standin' right on campus would he stamp us in a file
G G/F# A9
Hangin' down in Memphis all the while
G G/F# FaddG Am7
E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
3 2 0 0 3 3 2 X 0 0 3 3 X X 3 0 1 3 X 0 2 0 1 3
The A9 in verses is played the same as shown above for the intro.
[Chorus]
Em D9 C9
Children by the millions wait for Alex Chilton
D9
When he comes round
Sayin' I'm in love.... (This part is the same as intro)
[Bridge]
Cm7 (Eb??) Bb
Never travel too far
Cm D
Without a little Big Star
Cm7 Bb Cm D
E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E E A D G B E
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
X 3 5 3 4 3 X 1 3 3 3 X X 3 5 5 4 3 X X 0 2 3 2
That first chord may actually be an Eb, not a Cm7, in which case you
should play it:
Eb
E A D G B E
-----------
X 6 5 3 4 3
But that essentially covers all parts of the song. 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.
but you still get the general feel and sound of the song.
