Callin In Sick Chords - Weird Al Yankovic






Callin' In Sick
"Weird Al" Yankovic
====================

(subtle bass and guitar with minimal drums [ie. closed hi-hat])

E  C      GACB
   Hit my snooze alarm for the 27th time
ECG AC     B
   Just don't feel like going to work - I think I'll call my boss then I'm
A  B        C     D    A
   Gonna hack and cough and wheeze
B    C       D
Swear I've got some strange disease
A     B       C         D
What's that little twerp gonna say?  Hey...

(Chorus) - (Hard rock style, lots of crashes, overdriven guitar)
E    C C      G      A
  I'm callin' in sick today
E    C C  G  A
  Callin' in sick today

I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp
I could spend all day in my underwear watching "Ernest Goes To Camp"
I could sit and count my hair
I could burp my Tupperware
I'm not busy now anyway.   Hey..........

(Chorus)
E    C C      G      A
  I'm callin' in sick today
E    C C  G  A
  Callin' in sick today
E    C C  G  A
  Ain't going to work, no way
E    C C  G  AG
  Callin' in sick today

(Bridge) - (same as chorus)
BA  B   A
  I can do anything I want to
B   A    B    A
  I am invincible now
B    A    B  A
     I'm on fire, baby
      BD
  I'm alive, I'm alive, can you hear me, world?
E
  I'm alive!

Maybe I'll spend all day staring at the sun and trying not to squint
Maybe I'll make a huge color tapestry from my bellybutton lint
When I'm sick of takin' abuse
I just make up some lame excuse
Freedom's just seven digits away.  Hey...

(Chorus)
E    C C      G      A
  I'm callin' in sick today
E    C C  G  A
  Callin' in sick today
E    C C  G  A
  Ain't going to work, no way
E    C C  GAG
  Callin' in sick today
B   B B
A A A G G F# D E (hold on E)
