Fountains of Wayne
Seatbacks and Tray Tables
From Traffic and Weather (2007)
Standard Tuning
This song is a nice ballad in 3/4 time, it's the final track off
of Traffic and Weather. This uses a lot of bass note, so the note
following a / symbol is the bass note, i.e. C/G, G is the bass note.
This song is best played finger style, I'm not sure how they play it though.
Notes in brackets such as these: ( ) are to be picked, they are not chords.

Verse
/
Seatbacks and tray tables up
Store your newspapers and cups
We're about to touch down, midwestern town
Through the haze
/
Customs: a massive expense
And I'm digging into my pants
Is this Oklahoma? I remember this place.
Chorus
( )
Trade one town for another
/
Delayed now why did we bother?
( ) /
X on the calendar square, new city, same stuff
Seatbacks and tray tables up 2x
Intro
Verse 2
/
Seatbacks and tray tables please
Suddenly I can't feel my knees
Second run movies, in-flight shopping

Wheezing the air up there
Got me a backache somewhere
Is that Santa Barbara? I think I've been there.

Solo over second half of second verse
