I put all the songs that are tabbed on UG of FOW that have a good rating together here.
I didn't write them, it's just easier when you have the album. Most of these songs are
chords but some are tabs. For Stacys Mom
I put Tabs and Chords. I am putting the WHOLE tab so you know the original author.

E B C#m A
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
E B D A
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
Am E B
He thinks of his mother, he thinks of his bride-to-be
Am
He thinks of his father, his two younger brothers
B
Gathered around the widescreen TV
E B D A (x2)
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...

Lyrics (as best as I can tell)
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
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah), bright future in sales
yeah yeah
(Yeah yeah)
yeah yeah
I had a line on a brand new account
But now i can't seem to find where i wrote that number down,
I try to focus,
I'm starin' at the screen,
Pretendin' like a know what all these little flashing lights mean
(oh yeah)
"Denise" by Fountains of Wayne From the album UTOPIA PARKWAY
Transcribed by Keith Mularski (theplaids@hotmail.com)
------------------------------------------------------------
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:
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
I know this girl named Denise
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
She makes me weak at the knees
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
She drives a lavender Lexus
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
She lives is Queens but her dad lives in Texas
Bridge:
F# C# Eflat
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, When she holds me
F# C# Eflat
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, I can't help myself
F# C# Eflat
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, Won't you tell me?
F+ F#+
Do you love me Denise? Whoa-ah!
F+ F#+
Do you love me Denise?
Chorus:
C#
Oh baby, tell me please, (do-ya, do-ya, ah-oh, do-ya do-ya )
Aflat
Ah-oh, do-ya, do-ya, Ah-oh, do-ya, do-ya
Bflat F#
Oh baby, tell me please, (do-ya, do-ya, ah-oh, do-ya do-ya )
Main Riff 2X:

She listens to Puff Daddy

She gotta heart made of gravel

Song: Hung Up on You
Album: Welcome Interstate Managers
Tabbed by: Naseem Hyder
G
While I down Kentucky bourbon
C
I am waiting for a call
D
And the moon and stars tonight
G
Are playing shadows on the wall
G
With the moon the way it is, dear
C
Would you answer out of spite
D G
Or are you feeling lonely tonight
G
Cause I remember last time
C
We were out under the stars
D
Driving crooked down the highway
G
Drinking beer in roadside bars
G
And now and then I wonder
C
Why this painful memory
D G
Can never find its way to you from me
CHORUS
G
And I can't dial the phone just now
C
Even though I know your number
D G
Can't bring my broken heart to be untrue
G
Like you did today
C
You'll say goodbye the same old way
D
Ever since you hung up on me
G
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.

She's wearing kid gloves
D Em7(1) D G/B
Will handle me carefully
G A7
Cause I've got a history, cracked up and fragile
Bm A *G to G/F# Em7(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)
D Em7(1) D G/B
And if she could talk to me

G G/F# Em A
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Cadd9 D

to the end of the song but its down in the mix and hard to tell)
D Em7(1) D G/B X2
D Em7(1) D G/B
Here is what I've found
D Em7(1) D G/B
New York just gets me down
G A7
When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
Bm A G to G/F# Em7(2)
Back to my home town
D Em7(1) D G/B
And all the way I dreamed
D Em7(1) D G/B
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
G A7
And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Bm Cadd9 (riff 1) D
Gulped down by a Greyhound
(Chorus 1)
(Solo over chords for verse, use Emaj scale)

Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it

How could she ever go on

Without her kid gloves on

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

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

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

Prom Theme Chris Collingwood and Adam Schelsinger
Fountains of Wayne from "Utopia Parkway"
B G#m7
Here we are at last. The moment soon will pass
C#m7 Em
We'll go our separate ways. We'll vanish in the haze
B G#m7
We'll never be the same. We'll forget each other's names.
C#m7 Em
We'll grow old and lose our hair. It's all downhill from there.
E Em B Em B
But tonight we'll reach for the stars. We'll rent expensive cars
F# Cm7 F# C#m7
And dream our dreams of a perfect night
F# E-5 E B
And we'll sing our prom theme
E-5 E Em B
(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...)
B G#m7
Here we are at last. We're running out of gas.
C#m7 Em
The air is getting thick. The girls are getting sick.
B G#m7
We'll pass out on the beach, our keys just out of reach.
C#m7 Em
And soon we'll say goodbye, then we'll work until we die.
E Em B Em B
But tonight we feel like we're stars. We'll play our air guitars
F# C#m7 F# C#m7
'cause we're eighteen. It's a perfect night
F# E-5 E B
to sing our prom theme.
E-5 E Em B
END
(I'm not sure if E-5 is the right name for that chord. It's an E with a regular
fifth and a flatted fifth, first four strings only 0-2-2-3)

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
Am7 Em Am7 [C?]
And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream
G D
And the copy machines not working
Am7 Em Am7 [C?]
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..
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.

Chorus II:
Out on the highway, up in the air
Everyone else is going somewhere
They're going nowhere, and I'll be there too
I might as well go under with you

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.

Check this tab. I didn't see any other Parkway tabs with the solo on it,
so I took it upon myself to do it. I assure you this tab is 100% correct.
If there is anything wrong, I assure you it is merely a typographical error.

Em C G
Hey sweet Annie, don't take it so bad
D A7
you know the summer's coming soon
C D Bm C
though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand
Am C
and it seems the sun is hiding from the moon
G C D G
Your daddy told you when you were a girl

the kind of things that come to those who wait
C G C G
so give it a rest girl, take a deep breath girl
Am C
and meet me at the Bay State tonight
----------
Chorus:
D C G
The snow is coming down on our New England town
D Em Am
and it's been falling all day long
C D C Em
what else is new?, what could I do?
C D G
I wrote a valley winter song to play for you
----------
G Bm C C (x2)
Em C G
And late December, can drag a man down
D A7
you feel it deep in your gut
C D Bm C
short days and afternoons spent pottering around
Am C
in a dark house with the windows painted shut
G C D G
Remember New York staring outside
B C
as wreckless winter made its way
C G C G
from Staten Island to the Upper West Side
Am C
whiting out our streets along the way
----------
Chorus 2:
D C G
The snow is coming down on our New England town
D Em Am
and it's been falling all day long

what else is new?, what can I do?
