Verse 1
F#
One pill makes you larger
C#
And one pill makes you small
F#
And the ones that mother gives you
C#
Don’t do anything at all
F#
Go ask Alice
C#
When she’s ten feet tall
Verse 2
F#
And if you go chasing rabbits
C#
And you know you’re going to fall
F#
Tell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
C#
Has given you the call
F#
Call Alice
C#
When she was just small
Chorus
E
When the men on the chessboard
F#
Get up and tell you where to go
E
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom
F#
And your mind is moving low
E
Go ask Alice
F#
I think she’ll know
Verse 3
F#
When logic and proportion
C#
Have fallen sloppy dead
F#
And the White Knight is talking backwards
C#
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”
F#
Remember what the
C#
dormouse said:
Bridge
B
”Feed your head
B
Feed your head”
Chorus
E
When the men on the chessboard

F#
And your mind is moving low
E
Go ask Alice
F#
I think she’ll know
Outro
