Sick Day Collingwood/Schlesinger Fountains of Wayne, 1996
Verse I: Start with fade into Am7 - Dsus4-D-Dsus2
Dsus4-D-Dsus2 Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel Dsus4-D-Dsus2 Crawling to work, six feet under
And the day has barely begun c G D They're all chewing gum and laughing Dsus4-D-Dsus2 At the voice of the cracklin radio station Dsus4-D-Dsus2 Lead us not into Penn Station
And the best parts just begun
We're all becoming one, again [C?] And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream
And the copy machines not working [C?] She's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world
And she likes to say `Hey good lookin'
She's on her way
She's taking a sick day - [?] 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.
