Sick Day

Start with fade into Am7 - Dsus4-D-Dsus2

     [Am7]Check out the girl in the h[Dsus4]arbor [D]tu[Dsus2]nnel
     [Am7]Crawling to work, s[Dsus4]ix fee[D]t [Dsus2]under
     And the [C]day has barely b[G]egun
     T[C]hey're all chewing g[G]um and l[D]aughing
     At the v[Am7]oice of the cracklin [Dsus4]radio [D]st[Dsus2]ation
     [Am7]Lead us not in[Dsus4]to Pen[D]n [Dsus2]Station
     And the b[C]est parts just b[G]egun
     We're a[C]ll becoming o[G]ne, a[D]gain
     [Am7]                   [Em]                       [Am7] [[C]?]
     And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream
     And the copy m[G]achines not w[D]orking
     [Am7]               [Em]                       [Am7] [[C]?]
     She's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world
     And she likes to say `H[G]ey good l[D]ookin'
     [Am7]She's on her w[D]ay
     [Am7]She's taking a s[D]ick day
     [Bb] - [C] [?]
     Soon..

     [Am7] - [Dsus4]-[D]-[Dsus2] [2x]

     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]

     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.
