Ab
Oh no, another day begins
C#
Calenders and wristwatches are counting down my sins
Ab
Construction trucks outside are piling up the years
C#
After 25 the brides leave the single girls in tears
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_lonelyhearts/ntozake_nelson_crd.html ]
Ab Eb5
God bless them, god bless them all
C#
'Cause we've heard about what happens when their engine stalls
Ab
The tallest ones are mauled in the falls of the Midwest
C#
The quiet ones are farmed out to businessmen's requests
Ab Eb5
And osteoperosis gets the rest
C#
They'll remember her best as charming and good-looking
Ab
Though they wouldn't take her now for all the beer in Brooklyn
C#
Her cooking is her pride but she sits alone for dinner
Ab
In the dark under faded posters of Lew Alcindor
C#
The local red-eyed bottles have settled in for the winter
Ab Eb5
But you won't see me there
C#
I can't raise my glass and the others never cared
Ab C# Ab Eb5
I'll drink my morning coffee without Irish and I will make amends
Ab Eb5 Ab Eb5 Eb5
I miss the bottle I miss my friends, I miss the bottle I miss my friends
Same pattern repeats twice more with a few more bars of the chorus at the very end.
Hope it helps!
