G5 G#5
One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
G5 G#5
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
A#5 C5 D#5 A#5 A#5
Go ask Alice, when shes ten feet tall.
G5 G#5
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
G5 G#5
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking Caterpiller has given you the call
A#5 C5 D#5 A#5 A#5
Call Alice, when she was just small.
F5 A#5
When men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go,
F5 A#5
And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving(?) ???
G5 G5
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know.
G5 G#5
When logic and proportion have fallen slightly dead,
G5 G#5
And the White Knight is talking backwards, and the Red Queens off her head,
A#5 C5 D#5 A#5 F5 A#5 F5 A#5 A#5
Remember what the Doormouse said - Keep your head, Keep 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?
