Verse:
 D                     Em7
I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
 C9              D
Get out while I can
                                    D7
Gonna trade in this life I've been livin'
 G                    Em7
For a pocket full of sand

And a modern day drifter
                                D
Don't have to tell no one his plans

 D                                    Em7
I'm gonna find that long stretch of highway
 C9                    D
Where no one knows my name
                                  D7
Where as long as the sky just goes on
 G                  Em7
And it's never the same
                                   D
A modern day drifter don't ever complain

To say so long
          A     D
Keep on goin' strong
               F#m  G        A (see bottom)
And I'll just keep on bein' gone


Verse:
             D                     Em7
'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter
 C9    D
Yes I am
                             D7
Gonna slip this ring off my finger
  G                  Em7
'Cause everybody understands

That a modern day drifter's got

Nothin' but time on his hands
