Subject: CRD: Sick Day - Fountains of Wayne
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.
Tab/Chord interpretation by Craig Carlson
email with corrections etc:

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 FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE 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.
