 OK, the song starts out with strings; I'm not going to try to transcribe
 them.  Anyway the basic components of the song are A, D, E and then it
 goes to C#minor to G.  Try to strum only the top three strings
 (personally I think it sounds better).
 
 Like this:
 Intro (when guitar comes in):
 
 A         D        A    D    A    D    E    E
 
 A            D                    A
 Look at me I'm ten feet tall
 
              D                     A
 Jungle-Jim hope I don't fall
 
                         D
 Gather 'round for my playground
 
 E
 show
 
 
 Basically, that's the whole song.  When it changes to "And my mom, she's
 a movie star,"  use C#minor to Gmajor.  There are, however, a few parts
 in the song that require a decent amount of knowledge regarding
 finger-picking techniques, I don't know how to finger-pick that well so
 I had trouble figuring them out.  Give it a shot.
 
 Here are the complete words (because I hate it when people don't include
 them).
 
 Look at me I'm ten feet tall
 Jungle-Jim, hope I don't fall
 Gather 'round for my playground
 show
 
 They call me Tim, my real name is
 Timothy
 Your attention please but please not
 your sympathy
 My dad's real cool
 He discovered Mars
 And my mom is a movie star
 
 The kids at school don't let me play
 anything
 But I don't care because I have
 everything
 Any boy could ever need
 
 A helicopter that takes me
 anywhere
 A diamond horse, yeah my dad's a
 millionaire
 Don't mind the holes in my knees
 And my mom's a movie star
 
 Billy Green grabs his lunch from the
 window sill
 I left mine home, how 'bout a bite
 of your sandwich Bill
 A friend in need is a friend indeed
 
 The teacher asks oh where are your
 parents Tim
 It's been five months and I've seen
 no sign of them
 My dad's not here
 He flew back to Mars
 And my mom is a movie star
 
 She's a movie star
 She's a movie star
 My dad's drunk in a bar
 And my mom's crashed the car
 She's a movie star....
