Allison's Starting To Happen by the Lemonheads. Transcribed by John Birchett
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This tune is simple, but REALLY good. It is played with all barre chords)

Scratch effects (mute all of the strings with your hand, a watermelon, or
                 a camel)

               G
She'd shake it up

    D
was hard to make out

C                 G
Now it's plain to see.

           G              A
I couldn't cook to save myself

         C          D
found my life a recipe.

        G                  D 
I never looked at her this way before

    Cm
but now she's all I see...

Em                    D
Allison's starting to happen

C                     Em
Allison's starting to happen

Em                    D
Allison's starting to happen

   C (walk the bassline down --C,B,A,G)
To me

       G            D
I'm so mezmerized I can't describe it

D               G
All that inside hate      (<- Not too sure about this line)

       G                    A
No one knows her last name; I didn't ask so

C           D
Who am I to blame

G                   D            Cm
Earthquakes started forming underneath my feet today...

Em                    D
Allison's starting to happen

C                     Em
Allison's starting to happen

Em                    D
Allison's starting to happen

   C (Bassline C,B,A,G)
to me...

(Bridge-type thingy)
F                     G
F                     G
F                     G
F                     G (Here, they do an ascending bass run which I haven't
                         taken the time to figure out. I just play G,A,B,C,B,
                         C,D to the key change)

D        D              A
Oh, this world is topsy-turvy

    G             D
And it is mine to eat.

        D            E
She's a pebble in my mouth

    G             A
And underneath my feet

          D            A                     Gm
She's the puzzle piece behind the couch that makes the sky complete...

Bm                    A
Allison's starting to happen

G                     Bm
Allison's starting to happen

Bm                    A
Allison's starting to happen

G                     Bm
Allison's starting to happen

Bm                A
Allison's getting industrious (sounds like indistrious, so I'm guessing)

G                   Bm
Allison's growing a mohawk

Bm                    A
Allison's starting to happen

   G (Walk the bassline G,F#,E,D)
to me...

Tada! That's it. If anyone is interested in some more Lemonheads tunes, drop
 me a line. Or anything else I can get a hold of and like enough to put
 some effort into transcribing. :) Ciao. I love this archive!
