As best as I can tell, the main guitar part uses three main chords with a couple 
hammer ons for the whole song. Just listen in for the strumming pattern.

Ab
Oh no, another day begins

C#
Calenders and wristwatches are counting down my sins

Ab
Construction trucks outside are piling up the years

C#
After 25 the brides leave the single girls in tears

Ab                                Eb5 
God bless them, god bless them all

C#
'Cause we've heard about what happens when their engine stalls

Ab
The tallest ones are mauled in the falls of the Midwest
C#
The quiet ones are farmed out to businessmen's requests

Ab                            Eb5 
And osteoperosis gets the rest

C#
They'll remember her best as charming and good-looking

Ab
Though they wouldn't take her now for all the beer in Brooklyn

C#
Her cooking is her pride but she sits alone for dinner

Ab
In the dark under faded posters of Lew Alcindor

C#
The local red-eyed bottles have settled in for the winter

Ab                        Eb5
But you won't see me there

C#
I can't raise my glass and the others never cared

Ab                    C#                   Ab                    Eb5
I'll drink my morning coffee without Irish and I will make amends

Ab         Eb5              Ab                  Eb5              Eb5       
I miss the bottle I miss my friends, I miss the bottle I miss my friends


Same pattern repeats twice more with a few more bars of the chorus at the very end.
