 G5G#5
 One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
 G5G#5
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
 A#5C5D#5A#5A#5
Go ask Alice, when shes ten feet tall. 
 G5G#5
 And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
 G5G#5
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking Caterpiller has given you the call
 A#5C5D#5A#5A#5
Call Alice, when she was just small. 
 F5A#5
 When men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go,
 F5A#5
And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving(?) ???
 G5G5
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know.
 G5G#5
When logic and proportion have fallen slightly dead,
 G5G#5
And the White Knight is talking backwards, and the Red Queens off her head,
 A#5C5D#5A#5F5A#5F5A#5A#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?

The Slides could also be Legatos, but I think only Jefferson knows. ;)
