[Verse]

F#m G
One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small
F#m G
And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all
A C D A
Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you're gonig to fall.
( ? )
Go ask Alice when she's just small.


[Bridge]

E A
When men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go..
E A
And you've just have some kind of mushroom and your mind is moving low.


[Verse]

F#m
Go ask Alice I think she'll know
F#m G
When logic and proportion have fallen ( ?)ly dead.
F#m G
And the white knight is talking backwards and the red queen's off with her head
A C D A
Remember what the door mouse said
E A
Feed your head
E A
Feed your head

* I play all the chords as standard 2 note power chords in the 5th and 6th
string, except for F5, which I play at the 13 position instead of the 1st.
Keep the beat military! And if there are any chords other than 5ths in
here, I can't hear 'em...
PS. I think the solo is in G Phyrigian, played on a Strat, neck pickup with
just a bit of gain.
PPS. Can anyone tell me what she sings just after the mushrooms? And is she
really smoking Caterpillers? Why?
