Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
The clock's running down, the team's losing ground, to the opposing defense
The young quarterback waits for the snap when suddenly it all starts to make sense
He's got all kinds of time, he's got all kinds of time, all kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time, all kinds of time
He takes a step back, he's under attack, but he knows that no one can touch him now
He seems so at ease, a strange inner peace is all that he's feeling somehow
He's got all kinds of time, he's got all kinds of time, all kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time, all kinds of time
He thinks of his mother, he thinks of his bride-to-be
He thinks of his father, his two younger brothers
Gathered around the widescreen TV
D--6b~~~~~-6b~~~~~-7b~~~~~-7b~~~~-
(Yes! Easiest solo ever)
He looks to the left, he looks to the right, and there in a golden ray of light
Is his open man just as he planned, the whole world is his tonight
All kinds of time...
Barbara .
Verse 1
for a small girl
barbara sure has got a big crush
the kind that makes you want to break stuff
and blame it on a man you don't know
Verse 2
she came down
to new york city in a big bus
nine hours driving and you can't just stay home
so it doesn't matter which way you go
Chorus
because all day
the radio's been playing the same song
can't shake that tune but it's ok
maybe the world isn't so small
barbara knows it doesn't matter at all
Interlude
Verse 3
and each day
barbara wakes up in a bad way
tells me quietly she has absolutely nothing to say
but i don't seem to mind
Verse 4
she say's
she won't listen to the band play
she hates songs that never seem to go away
now neither will mine
Chorus
and now all day
the radio's been playing the same song
can't shake that tune but it's ok
maybe the world isn't so small
barbara knows it doesn't matter at all
Interlude
Chorus
and now all day
the radio's been playing the same song
can't shake that tune but it's ok
maybe the world isn't so small
barbara knows it doesn't matter at all
barbara knows
barbara knows it doesn't matter at all

Sleepin' on a planner at the port authority,
waitin' for my bus to come,
Seven scotch and sodas at the office party
Now I don't remember where I'm from
I think I had a black wallet
In my back pocket
With a bus ticket
And a picture of my baby inside
And if I make it home alive
I'm gonna get my *** together
Cause I can't live like this forever,
You know I've come too far and I don't wanna flip
I gotta new computer and a bright future in sales
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah
Headin' for the airport on a misty morning
Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore
Try to kill an hour with a whiskey-sour
If there's time i might have just one more
I gotta do some, quick readin'
for the big meetin'
but my head is spinning
and i can't quite open my eyes
as long as I don't have to drive
I'm gonna get my *** together
Cause I can't live like this forever,
You know I've come to far and I don't wanna flip
I gotta new computer and a bright future in sales

"Denise" by Fountains of Wayne From the album UTOPIA PARKWAY
Just a little guide to help you in the reading of this transcription.
The cords F+, and F#+ are played by playing power cords in the 8th and
9th positions respectively. The reason for the + sign is to distinguish
those cords from F# that is played in the 2nd position during the Bridge
and the Chorus. The song is fun to play, and for ultimate realism, turn
the treble and middle way up on your amp to produce a great fuzzy sound.
Verse 1

I know this girl named Denise

She makes me weak at the knees

Album: Utopia Parkway
Song: A Fine Day For A Parade
Intro riff
Verse 1
Mrs. Carver says she's sorry
She knows enough to worry
But what does she know about crime?
Believes the town is sinking
The price of forward thinking
You stay up all night half the time
Racking your mind
Alone at night
While all the neighbors sleep tight
Verse 2
Years ago she lost her daughter
Off to a sacred order
Where they get stoned and work the earth
Clears up her head with bourbon
Cause beer is so suburban
And declasse for what it's worth
Chorus
She drinks it down down down
For all of the old old days
She's thinking of it now
It's nice to get away
But what a fine day for a parade
Verse 3
She stays up mending curtains
Until her fingers hurt, and
You can get so bored of it all
No one can say for certain
She'll never safely know when
An asteroid will kill us all
Chorus
x2)
She drinks it down down down
For all of the old old days
She's thinking of it now
It's nice to get away
But what a fine day for a parade (repeat and fade)
(D/ means chord with as the bass-note)
Verse 1
Driving on the lawn
Sleeping on the roof
Drinking all the alcohol
All the kids from school
Will be naked in the pool
While our parents are on Fire Island

Cranking up the tunes
'Til the windows break
Feeding chocolate to the dog
Jumping on the couch
'Til the feathers all come out
While our parents are on Fire Island (Don't play the last A chord)
Chorus
We're old enough by now
F Bb (then play an A bass note to get the bass line)
To take care of each other
We don't need no babysitter
F A Bb (then play an A bass note to get the bass line)
We don't need no father or mother

Intro (x4)
Verse 1
Go, hippie
Skip down the old road
Don't even see me, do you at all
Some days you get so tired of hanging
Trying to deep-fry all your boredom
Verse 2
Big hippie
This day was so slow
And I can see you feel it too
Sometimes you wish you knew karate
Oh, the things that you could do, like

Crossing in between the greens
Just because you want to
Not because you ought to
Oh, how can you ever explain
They can never feel your pain

Mr. Crabtree
Sits in the window
He sees a lot, but he don't know

Keeping your head low
Around the car park you swing low
Some days it all falls down around you
Some days you fall down in the snow while

Crossing in between the greens
Just because you want to
Not because you ought to
Oh, how can you ever explain
They can never feel your pain
Neither can you

Hat And Feet
Verse 1
I'm just a hat and feet
That's all that's left of me
A spot on the sidewalk
A mark on the street
I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet
Verse 2
You dropped a bomb on me
I didn't even see
Like a falling piano
From out of the window
Now I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet
Bridge
I'm just a sitting duck
That ran out of luck
I'm the unhappy guy
That didn't look up high
I started running when I saw it coming
It got faster and louder til I took a powder
Verse 3
Now I'm just a hat and feet
That's what's become of me
Flat on the sidewalk
Stuck in the street
I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet
Bridge
I'm just a sitting duck
That ran out of luck
I'm the unhappy guy
That didn't look up high
I started running when I saw it coming
It got faster and louder til I took a powder
Verse 4
I'm just a hat and feet
That's all that's left of me
A spot on the sidewalk
A mark on the street
I'm just a hat and feet
I'm just a hat and feet
Working all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
He's got me running 'round the office like a dog around a track
But when I get back home, you're always there to rub my back
Chorus
Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around
No I'd never make it through without you around
Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face
Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around
Bridge
How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway
Working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He's got me running 'round the office
Like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do
But he can't tell me what to feel
Hey Julie,
Look what they're doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through without you around
No I'd never make it through without you around
No I'd never make it through without you around
While I down Kentucky bourbon
I am waiting for a call
And the moon and stars tonight
Are playing shadows on the wall
With the moon the way it is, dear
Would you answer out of spite
Or are you feeling lonely tonight
Cause I remember last time
We were out under the stars
Driving crooked down the highway
Drinking beer in roadside bars
And now and then I wonder
Why this painful memory
Can never find its way to you from me
Chorus
And I can't dial the phone just now
Even though I know your number
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
Like you did today
You'll say goodbye the same old way
Ever since you hung up on me
I'm hung up on you
Well the house I'm ringing up from
Is a half a mile from you
But with the reception I'm getting
Might as well be Timbuktu
And behind the door of your home
Is a strange and foreign land
Where you speak a language I don't understand
Chorus
Now I'm going down to Jimmy's bar
Like a thousand other times
With an appetite for poison
And a suitcase full of dimes
And I'll wait there by the payphone
With one hundred other guys
With those sorry hung-up teardrops in our eyes
Chorus
I want an alien for Christmas is not available at this time.

Kid Gloves by Fountains of Wayne (Collingwood/Schlesinger)
Intro (1) X2
She's wearing kid gloves
Will handle me carefully
Cause I've got a history, cracked up and fragile
* to [G/f#] (2)
And bound to break easy
(* don't play the full bar, hit the F# note of the G/F# chord,
on the E string, on the last beat and go straight to Em7)
And if she could talk to me
What good would it do me
It's no secret where I've been and I have worn so thin
And she can see through me
Chorus 1
[G/f#]
I don't believe a word of it
[G/f#]
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Now that her soft touch is gone
She's got her kid gloves on (riff 2)
(riff 2 repeats from the end of the first chorus more or less
to the end of the song but its down in the mix and hard to tell)
(1) X2
Here is what I've found
New York just gets me down
When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
to [G/f#] (2)
Back to my home town
And all the way I dreamed
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Gulped down by a Greyhound
(Chorus 1)
(Solo over chords for verse, use Emaj scale)
Chorus 2
[G/f#]
I don't believe a word of it
[G/f#]
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
[G/f#]
Won't come around cause I'll only get hurt and it
Now that her soft touch is gone
How could she ever go on
Without her kid gloves on
Repeat (1) X6 and end on

LEAVE THE BIKER - Fountains of Wayne
Seems the further from town I go
The more I hate this place
He's got leather and big tattoos
Scars all over his face
And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause he couldn't get a date for the prom
Chorus_1
He's got his arm around every man's dream
And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can't you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
leave the biker break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
leave the biker break his heart
Now his friend leans over and says
Looks like we got us a fag
I wonder if that guy's read one word
That wasn't in a porno mag
And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause his kitten got run over and died
Repeat Chorus_1
And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause he couldn't get a date for the prom
Chorus_2
He's got his arm around every man's dream
And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can't you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
leave the biker break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
leave the biker break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
leave the biker break his heart
Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee / fifty million people out in front of me
Trying to cross the water but it just might be a while
Rain's coming down I can't see a thing / radio's broken so I'm whistling
New York to Nyack feels like a hundred miles
It's not right, it's not fair / I'm still a mess and you still don't care
I go to work, I come back home
But you're still gone, and I'm still alone
And the little red light's not blinking / no, no the little red light's not blinking
No, no the little red light's not blinking
On my big black plastic Japanese cordless phone, oh no, oh no
Stuck in a meeting on Monday night / trying to get the numbers to come out right
I'm getting tired, I think I just might need a drink
And as I'm reaching in the bottom drawer / I'm dreaming 'bout the way it was before
Life was so easy I never really had to think
It's not right, it's not fair / I'm still a mess and you still don't care
I go to sleep, when I wake up
The pain sets in and it never stops
And the little red light's not blinking / no, no the little red light's not blinking
No, no the little red light's not blinking
On the desktop mailbox of my big black laptop, oh no
(Solo over verse chords)
It's not right, it's not fair / I'm still a mess and you still don't care
I go to work, I come back home
But you're still gone and I'm still alone
And the little red light's not blinking / no, no the little red light's not blinking
No, no the little red light's not blinking
On my big black Radio Shack digital portable phone, oh no
He was killed by a cellular phone explosion
They scattered his ashes across the ocean
The water was used to make baby lotion
The wheels of promotion were set into motion
But the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
E----6h7-- (x3)
She lived alone in a small apartment
Across the street from the health department
She left her pills in the glove compartment
That was the afternoon her heart went
And the sun still shines in the summer time
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
I used to fly for United Airlines
Then I got fired for reading High Times
My license expired in almost no time
Now I'm retired and I think that's fine
Because the sun still shines in the summertime
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
Because the sun still shines in the summertime
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
I tried to change, but I changed my mind
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
Think I'll have another glass of Mexican wine
Won't you have another glass of Mexican wine

hC hC hC hC
Is that supposed to be your poker face, or was someone run over by a train
And you were minding your own business, but you're begging for forgiveness just the same
And it's running back and forth inside your mind
Just how that town defined you, dressed you up, painted your face
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place
You're awake and trying not to be, wrapped around your pillow like a prawn
And the nighttime's wrapped around you, will be until it drops you on the dawn
From the C train to the shiny tower, kicked around
Till happy hour found you, where you can drink that smirk right off your face
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place
And here is your reflection in a building uptown
A ghost inside some Madison Avenue display
Like water under bridges, you're slowly passing by
As you sail between the rooftops and the sky
And the bourbon sits inside me, right now I'm a puppet in its sway
And it may be the whiskey talking, but the whiskey says I miss you every day
So I taxi to an all-night party, park me in the corner in an old chair
Sip my drink and stare out into space
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place
And now you're leaving New York, for no better place

Prom Theme Chris Collingwood and Adam Schelsinger
Fountains of Wayne from "Utopia Parkway"
Here we are at last. The moment soon will pass
We'll go our separate ways. We'll vanish in the haze
We'll never be the same. We'll forget each other's names.
We'll grow old and lose our hair. It's all downhill from there.
But tonight we'll reach for the stars. We'll rent expensive cars
And dream our dreams of a perfect night
[E-5]
And we'll sing our prom theme
[E-5]
(The break is an instrumental with heavy strings that is basically a repeat of
the verse and chorus but goes off on a discordant tangent at one point, then
comes back to...)
Here we are at last. We're running out of gas.
The air is getting thick. The girls are getting sick.
We'll pass out on the beach, our keys just out of reach.
And soon we'll say goodbye, then we'll work until we die.
But tonight we feel like we're stars. We'll play our air guitars
'cause we're eighteen. It's a perfect night
[E-5]
to sing our prom theme.
[E-5]

Sick Day
Collingwood/Schlesinger
Fountains of Wayne, 1996
Verse i
Start with fade into Am7 - Dsus4-D-Dsus2
Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel
Crawling to work, six feet under
And the day has barely begun
They're all chewing gum and laughing
At the voice of the cracklin radio station
Lead us not into Penn Station
And the best parts just begun
We're all becoming one, again
[?]
And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream
And the copy machines not working
[?]
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..
- -- [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

Pretty simple. Amazing what can still be done with four chords and
some imagination. They might leave out the C#m on the solo part; I
couldn't really tell.

STACY'S MOM - Fountains of Wayne
This is how I play this great song. I hope it can help you if you need it:
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on (x4)
Stacy can I come over after school?
we can hang around by the pool
did your mom get back from the business trip?
is she there or is she trying to give me the slip?
You know I'm not the little boy that I used to be
I'm all grown up now baby can't you see?
Chorus
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
she's all I want and I've waited for so long
Stacy can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's...
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on (x2)
...mom
Stacy do you remember when I mowed your lawn
your mom came out with just a towel on
I could tell she likes me from the way she stared
and the way she said: "you missed a spot over there"
And I know that you think it's just a fantasy
but since your dad walked out your mom could use a guy like me
Chorus
Stacy's mom has got it goin' on
she's all I want and I've waited for so long
Stacy can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Stacy's...

Intro
Acoustic):
bass note
Don't you wanna ride in my survival car
(Distorted):
We can take the long way home
Through Central Park
Funny how the ground can find my wheels
I'm going where the road ain't there and only
Riding on the path we made to Union Square
Next Verse (same pattern):
Doing what the young folks do in west coast towns
Howling like a banshee through the overground
Funny how the ground can find my wheels
I'm going where the road won't tear
And only riding on the path we made to Union Square
Next part:
Everybody hit the ground, I think I might have missed my calling
Everbody turn around
The light's about to change, you better stand aside
Why you wanna walk, don't you wanna ride, ride, ride, ride
Don't you wanna ride in my suvival car
We can take the long way home
Solo
Last Verse:
Funny how the ground can find my wheels
I'm going where the road won't tear
And only riding on the path we made to Union Square
And only riding on the path we made...
Riding on the path we made...
Riding on the path we made to Union Square
For the last part it's back to acoustic and you just pick the chords:
Don't you wanna ride in my survival car, we can take the long way home
The King of Araby is coming home today
It's bumper touching bumper on the motorway
The sun is in the sky just now
But the road is grey
They drive in Winnebagos from the Everglades
Pulled over by the troopers in the mirror shades
The Caravan is sorry
The driver has a twenty and change
And we're leaving all the road for dead
We're getting tired of the twists and turns
You gotta go when human nature calls
We're driving, we're driving
Through the valley of malls
And God forgive the passengers if we should fail
To find a penny fountain of a half-off sale
I need a merchant
I've just started searching for a Holy Grail
Fighting for the freedom from a common bond
To be a barracuda in the guppy pond
So little time for so many things to try on
Instrumental verse same chords
And we're leaving all the road for dead
We're getting tired of the twists and turns
You gotta go when human nature calls
We're driving, we're driving
Through the valley of malls
Through the valley of malls ......

Well I?ve been saving for a custom van
And I?ve been playing in a cover band
And my baby doesn?t understand
Why I never turned from boy to man
I got it made I got it down I am the king of this island town
I?m on my own I?m on my way Down Utopia, Utopia Parkway
And while I?m waiting for my time to come
I?m gonna get a little shopping done
I?ll get some paper and a staple gun
And put my name in front of everyone
I got it made I got it down I am the king of this goddamn town
I?m on my own I?m on my way Down Utopia, Utopia Parkway
Gonna let my hair grow down my back
Gonna brace myself for the big attack
And they?ll never know what hit them when I?m gone
Song: Valley Winter Song
Artist: Fountains of Wayne
Album: Welcome Interstate Managers
Written by: Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger
Intro
G - Bm - C Cadd9hC - C Cadd9hC (x4)
( : x30010. Hammer-on middle finger to change from to )
Hey sweet Annie, don't take it so bad
you know the summer's coming soon
though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
and it seems the sun is hiding from the moon
Your daddy told you when you were a girl
the kind of things that come to those who wait
so give it a rest girl, take a deep breath girl
and meet me at the Bay State tonight
Chorus
The snow is coming down on our New England town
and it's been falling all day long
what else is new?, what could I do?
I wrote a valley winter song to play for you
And late December, can drag a man down
you feel it deep in your gut
short days and afternoons spent pottering around
in a dark house with the windows painted shut
Remember New York staring outside
as wreckless winter made its way
from Staten Island to the Upper West Side
whiting out our streets along the way
Chorus 2
The snow is coming down on our New England town
and it's been falling all day long
what else is new?, what can I do?
but sing this valley winter song I wrote for you
Solo background chords:
Chorus 2
Strumming is all downstrokes. A, Bm, and G should all be barre cords.
In about an hour
The sunlight's gonna fade
And you and me
We'll divvy up the wine
Like everything else here
Yours and mine
Pickin up the paper
Coffee's been made
It's book review and face the nation time
Two in the same mind
Yours and mine
Congratulations! You read the whole thing! GO ORIGNAL AUTHORS!
Wow I just wasted 30 min. of my life! I better go eat some tomatoes! EW!
