Crash Test Dummies – Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm
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.
