Song: Hey Julie
By: Fountains of Wayne
Tabbed by: David Rickard (dave-at-davidrickard-dot-net)
This is a really easy song to play. Listen to the original for the rythms. Its fun to play,
easy to sing, just an all-round great song. I think its right as I've played it through
against the original and it sounds fine. The bass lines do add a little bit, and I'm sure
there's a second guitar in there playing barred versions of all these chords. If you know
them, play them if you like! Enjoy.

Verse:
G Cadd9 G D/F#
Workin' all day for a mean little man
G Cadd9 G D/F#
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a dog around the track
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
But when I get back home you're always there to rub my back
Chorus:
G Cadd9 D/F# Cadd9
Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down
G Cadd9 D/F# Cadd9
Julie, I swear it's so hard to bear it
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
And I'd never make it through without you around
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
No, I'd never make it through without you around

Verse:
G Cadd9 G D/F#
Hours on the phone makin' pointless calls
G Cadd9 G D/F#
I got a desk full of paper that means nothin' at all
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
Counting down the hours 'til I get to see your face
Chorus:
G Cadd9 D/F# Cadd9
Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
Tryin' to trip me up, tryin' to wear me down

No, I'd never make it through without you around
Bridge:
Em Bm
How did it come to be
C
That you and I must be
D/F#
Far away from each other every day?
Em Bm
Why must I spend my time
C
Fillin' up my mind
D/F# Cadd9
With facts and figures that never add up anyway
They never add up anyway

Verse:
G Cadd9 G D/F#
Workin' all day for a mean little guy
G Cadd9 G D/F
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
He's got me runnin' 'round the office like a gerbil on a wheel
Em7 Cadd9 D/F# G
He can tell me what to do, but he can't tell me what to feel
