        Fade in...      Am7     D(add)  D  D(sus)  D
                        Am7     D(add)  D  D(sus)  D
                        Am7     D(add)  D  D(sus)  D

        Am7                       D(add)  D  D(sus)  D
        Check out the girl in the harbor tunnel
        Am7              D(add)  D  D(sus)  D
        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                    D(add)  D  D(sus)  D
        At the voice on the cracklin' radio station
        Am7           D(add)  D  D(sus)  D
        Lead us not into Penn Station
                  C                  G
        Cause the best part's just begun
              C            G     D
        We're all becoming one again

        Am                   D
        And she's making the scene
                            Em
        With the coffee and cream
                        C          D
        And the copy machine's not working
        Am                D
        She's a hell of a girl
                           Em
        She's alone in the world
                              C         D
        And she likes to say "Hey, good lookin'"
              Am     D
        She's on her way
              Am       D        Bb5      C5
        She's taking a sick day soon...

        Here is the man pushing paper past her
        Thinks up ways to make the day go faster
        But the day goes on and on
        He dreams of his lawn, and all about the
        Pretty careeress the next cube over
        The fat secretary, the lunchtime lover
        Till the path train finally comes
        The platform's full of bums again

        And she's making the scene
        With the coffee and cream
        And the copy machine's 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...

        (break)

        And she's taking her time
        As she's tossing a dime
        At the man in the cardboard coffin
        It doessn't have to be fine
        She's ahead of the line and
        Doesn't have to be hear too often
        She's making a play
                                Bb5     C5    G
        She's taking a sick day soon
