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
EThe clock's running Bdown, the team's losing C#mground, to the Aopposing defense
The young quarterback waits for the snap when suddenly it all starts to make sense
EHe's got all kinds of Btime, he's got all kinds of Dtime, all kinds of Atime
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 Amthinks of his mother, he thinks of his bride-to-Ebe B
He Amthinks of his father, his two younger brothers
BGathered 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
E B D A (repeat and fade)
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:
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
I heard she used to be married
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
She listens to Puff Daddy
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
She works at Liberty Travel
Bflat F+ F#+ F#+
She gotta heart made of gravel
Bridge: #2
F# C# Eflat
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, She controls me
F# C# Eflat
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, She can't help herself
F# C# Eflat
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la, Won't you tell me?

Song: Hung Up on You
Album: Welcome Interstate Managers
Tabbed by: Naseem Hyder
While I dGown Kentucky bourbon
I am Cwaiting for a call
And the Dmoon and stars tonight
Are playing Gshadows on the wall
With the Gmoon the way it is, dear
Would you Canswer out of spite
Or Dare you feeling lonely toGnight
Cause GI remember last time
We were Cout under the stars
Driving Dcrooked down the highway
Drinking Gbeer in roadside bars
And Gnow and then I wonder
Why this Cpainful memory
Can Dnever find its way to you from Gme
CHORUS
GAnd I can't dial the phone just now
Even Cthough I know your number
Can't Dbring my broken heart to be Guntrue
GLike you did today
You'll say Cgoodbye the same old way
DEver since you hung up on me
I'm hung up on Gyou
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.

D Em7(1) D G/B
She's wearing kid gloves
D Em7(1) D G/B
Will handle me carefully
Cause GI've got a history, A7cracked up and fragile

And bound to break easy

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
D Em7(1) D G/B

And she can see through me
Chorus 1:
GI dG/F#on't Embelieve a Aword of it
GCan't come G/F#around to her Emnow that I've Aheard of it

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
When the Ggoing got tough, A7I 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
And the Groad wrapped around me, the A7long lonely highway

Gulped down by a Greyhound
(Chorus 1)
(Solo over chords for verse, use Emaj scale)

Rain's coming down I can't see a thing / radio's broken so I'm whistling

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

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 Crunning back and forth inside your mind
Just how that town deEmfined you, dressed you up, Ampainted your face
G Dm C G Riff (x4)
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 Dhere is your reflection in a Cbuilding uptown
A Emghost inside some Madison DAvenue display
Like Cwater under bridges, you're slowly passing by

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"
BHere we are at last. The G#m7moment soon will pass
We'll C#m7go our separate ways. We'll Emvanish in the haze
BWe'll never be the same. We'll forG#m7get each other's names.
We'll grow C#m7old and lose our hair. It's Emall downhill from there.
EBut tonight we'll Emreach for the Bstars. We'll rent exEmpensive Bcars
And F#dream our Cm7dreams of a F#perfect C#m7night
And we'll F#sing our E-5prom EthemBe
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...)
BHere we are at last. We're G#m7running out of gas.
The C#m7air is getting thick. The Emgirls are getting sick.
BWe'll pass out on the beach, our G#m7keys just out of reach.
And C#m7soon we'll say goodbye, then we'll Emwork until we die.
EBut tonight we Emfeel like we're Bstars. We'll Emplay our air guiBtars
'cause F#we're eighC#m7teen. It's a F#perfect C#m7night
to sF#ing our E-5prom EthemBe.
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
And the Cday has barely bGegun
TChey're all chewing gGum and lDaughing
Am7 Dsus4-D-Dsus2
At the voice of the cracklin radio station
Am7 Dsus4-D-Dsus2
Lead us not into Penn Station
And the bCest parts just bGegun
We're aCll becoming oGne, aDgain
Am7 Em Am7 [C?]
And she's making the scene with her coffee and cream
And the copy mGachines not wDorking
Am7 Em Am7 [C?]
She's a hell of a girl, she's alone in the world
And she likes to say `HGey good lDookin'
Am7She's on her wDay
Am7She's taking a sDick 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.

Verse I [solo voice and guitar]:

I wanna sink to the bottom with you
The oEcean is bG#ig and bC#mlue A

Verse II:

Solo over same chords
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
Repeat Verse I (2x)
I just wanna...repeat end on E
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.
