[Solved] Column manipulation

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me to transform my data into a format I need.
Here is an example of what my data looks like

HTML Code:
  E F G H
A 1 2 3 4
B 5 6 7 8
C 9 1 2 3
D 4 5 6 7
and this is what I would need it to look like:

HTML Code:
AE 1
BE 5
CE 9
DE 4
AF 2
BF 6
CF 1
DF 5
etc
Basically, I need to take every column and put it under each other.
I've tried doing it with awk by creating separate files for each column and then combine them by using cat, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of temporary files.

Many thanks for your help and time in advance!
