 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
