Please excuse errors in the lyrics. I have this on second-generation
cassette, so unfortunately I have to guess what is being sung.
AFTERNOONS AND COFFEESPOONS
(capo on third fret)
Intro: D G D G Asus4 A
D A D G G A
What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy
D A D G G A
There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
F Bb C
I've had my lungs checked out with X-rays
F Bb C Dm Bbsus2**
I've smelled the hospital hallways
(**Sorry. Not really sure if this is what you call this chord. Basically
play a Bb, but play the C note on the second string, not the D note.)
SHORT CHORUS:
D G D A
Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
D G D A G A
Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime
D A D G G A
Times when the day seems like a play by Sartre
D A D G G A
When it seems a book burnings in perfect order
F Bb C
I gave the doctor my description
F Bb C Dm Bbsus2
I've tried to stick to my prescription
LONG CHORUS:
D G D A
Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
D G D A
Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime
G D
Oh, oh, oh, oh (or something to that effect)
A D G
Afternoons will be measured out
Bm G
Measured out and measured with
A D G G A
Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot
(The remaining verse and chorus repeat the same chord progression)
Maybe if I could do a play-by-playback
I could change the test results that I would get back
I've watched a summer evening pass by
I've heard the rattle in my bronchi
REPEAT LONG CHORUS
Hope you can follow this.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CRASH TEST DUMMIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
