 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
            C? 
 Am7 Em Am7 
 And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream
               G            D     
 And the copy machines not working
            C? 
 Am7 Em Am7 
 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..
 
                     2x 
 Am7 - Dsus4-D-Dsus2 
 
 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
 
           same as I 
 Chorus II 
 
 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
            let ring, and false end 
 Bb - C - G 
 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.
