As best as I can tell, the main guitar part uses three main chords with a couple 
hammer ons for the whole song. Just listen in for the strumming pattern.

AbOh no, another day begins
C#Calenders and wristwatches are counting down my sins
AbConstruction trucks outside are piling up the years
C#After 25 the brides leave the single girls in tears
AbGod bless them, god bless them allEb5  
C#'Cause we've heard about what happens when their engine stalls
AbThe tallest ones are mauled in the falls of the Midwest
C#The quiet ones are farmed out to businessmen's requests
AbAnd osteoperosis gets the restEb5  
C#They'll remember her best as charming and good-looking
AbThough they wouldn't take her now for all the beer in Brooklyn
C#Her cooking is her pride but she sits alone for dinner
AbIn the dark under faded posters of Lew Alcindor
C#The local red-eyed bottles have settled in for the winter
AbBut you won't see me thereEb5  
C#I can't raise my glass and the others never cared
AbI'll drink my morning C#coffee without Irish Aband I will make amendsEb5  
AbI miss the Eb5bottle I miss my Abfriends, I miss the Eb5bottle I miss my Eb5friends

Oh no, another day begins

Calenders and wristwatches are counting down my sins

Construction trucks outside are piling up the years

After 25 the brides leave the single girls in tears

Ab Eb5

God bless them, god bless them all

'Cause we've heard about what happens when their engine stalls

The tallest ones are mauled in the falls of the Midwest

The quiet ones are farmed out to businessmen's requests

Ab Eb5

And osteoperosis gets the rest

They'll remember her best as charming and good-looking

Though they wouldn't take her now for all the beer in Brooklyn

Her cooking is her pride but she sits alone for dinner

In the dark under faded posters of Lew Alcindor

The local red-eyed bottles have settled in for the winter

Ab Eb5

But you won't see me there

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
