Sick Day

Collingwood/Schlesinger

Fountains of Wayne, 1996

Verse I: Start with fade into Am7 - Dsus4-D-Dsus2

Am7 Dsus4-D-Dsus2

Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel

Am7 Dsus4-D-Dsus2

Crawling to work, six feet under

C G

And the day has barely begun

c G D

They're all chewing gum and laughing

Am7 Dsus4-D-Dsus2

At the voice of the cracklin radio station

Am7 Dsus4-D-Dsus2

Lead us not into Penn Station

C G

And the best parts just begun

C G D

We're all becoming one, again

Am7 Em Am7 [C?]

And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream

G D

And the copy machines not working

Am7 Em Am7 [C?]

She's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world

G D

And she likes to say `Hey good lookin'

Am7 D

She's on her way

Am7 D

She's taking a sick day

Bb - C [?]

Soon..

Am7 - Dsus4-D-Dsus2 [2x]

Verse II:

And here is the man pushing paper past her

Thinks of ways to make the day go faster

But the day goes on and on

He dreams of his lawn and all about

The pretty careerist the next cube over

The fat secretary the lunch-time lover

Till the Path train finally comes

The platforms full of bums again

Chorus II [same as I]

Solo over verse chords

Chorus III

And she's taking her time, as she's tossing a dime

At the man in the cardboard coffin

It doesn't have to be fine, she's ahead of the line

And doesn't have to be here too often

She's making a play

Bb - C - G [let ring, and false end]

She's taking a sick day soon

Drum fill and:

Fade out over Am7 - D

OK, there's some mistakes/simplifications in this one, but it ought to

get you started.
