VERSE ONE:

     A augmentedA         A9A9 A augmentedA
It was a modern love affair
  BB        A augmentedA
Completely cool and casual
                   A9A9 A augmentedA
They hardly knew each other was there
    BB                 A augmentedA
I mean both of them had their own getting off to do
        BB
And they had to dream about their own self
A augmentedA
When they were through


VERSE TWO:


    D MajorD        E MajorE
But the modern girl was elated
       D MajorD     E MajorE
With what the revolution gave her
  D MajorD         E MajorE       D MajorD
And since she was liberated she could have
        E MajorE
Everything that striked her fancy

VERSE THREE:


    A augmentedA         A9A9 A augmentedA
And she fancied quite a bit
     BB        A augmentedA
I mean if it felt good she did it
                     A9A9 A augmentedA
And she did it every chance she could get
     BB         A augmentedA BB
With her main modern man and otherwise
    A augmentedA   BB           A augmentedA
And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys


VERSE FOUR:


    D MajorD         E MajorE
Since another modern girl showed her
   D MajorD            E MajorE
That modern girls know how to hold her
  D MajorD           E MajorE
And after she had her eyes opened
    D MajorD             E MajorE
All her old close friends started getting closer
  BB            F# minorF#m E MajorE    A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And new friends weren't that far  far away


VERSE FIVE:


    A augmentedA              E MajorE
But the modern man he just wasn't so lucky
   F# minorF#m        E MajorE       BB      E MajorE
He being shook from his usual role as a heartbreaker
    A augmentedA             E MajorE
He was completely battered and bewildered
         F# minorF#m    E MajorE     F# minorF#m      E MajorE
When he actually  started in feeling something for her
    F# minorF#m            D MajorD
And he then, he discovered a new emotion
     A augmentedA               E MajorE
When they stopped ending up together as frequently
F# minorF#m          A augmentedA
And when he finally confronted her with the question
       F# minorF#m               E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Had she been bedding down with others in the periphery without him?
            D MajorD
And she replied, Hell yes ain't it funny?


VERSE SIX:


  A augmentedA         A9A9 A augmentedA BB                 A augmentedA
So view the modern man   looking, looking, looking, like a soft, soft Picasso
                  A9A9 A augmentedA
He's there with his head in his hand
 BB           A augmentedA
Repeating to himself an epigram
BB                 A augmentedA
