Close, but the capo's on 2, not on 3. (...on the Big Star original, it's on the 3rd fret.) Here's the rest of the tab I did a while back.

 

Thirteen

(Alex Chilton & Chris Bell)

 

Standard tuning, capo the 2nd fret.

 

 

      Intro (x4)

   G       Cadd9

E |----3-3------------|

B |----3-3------------|

G |----0-0-----0---0--|

D |----0-0-----0h2p0--|

A |-2-------3---------|

E |-3-----------------|
