cassette, so unfortunately I have to guess what is being sung.
AFTERNOONS AND COFFEESPOONS
(capo on third fret)
Intro: D G D G Asus4 A
D A D G G A What is it that makes me just a little bit queasy
D A D G G A There's a breeze that makes my breathing not so easy
F Bb C I've had my lungs checked out with X-rays
F Bb C Dm Bbsus2** I've smelled the hospital hallways
(**Sorry. Not really sure if this is what you call this chord. Basically
play a Bb, but play the C note on the second string, not the D note.)
SHORT CHORUS:
D G D A Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
D G D A G A Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime
D A D G G A Times when the day seems like a play by Sartre
D A D G G A When it seems a book burnings in perfect order
F Bb C I gave the doctor my description
F Bb C Dm Bbsus2 I've tried to stick to my prescription
LONG CHORUS:
D G D A Someday I'll have a disappearing hairline
D G D A Someday I'll wear pajamas in the daytime
G D Oh, oh, oh, oh (or something to that effect)
A D G Afternoons will be measured out
Bm G Measured out and measured with
A D G G A Coffeespoons and T.S. Eliot
(The remaining verse and chorus repeat the same chord progression)
Maybe if I could Do a play-by-playback
I could change the test results that I would get back
I've watched a summer evening pass by
I've heard the rattle in my bronchi
REPEAT LONG CHORUS
Hope you can follow this.
