VERSE ONE:

         A                  A9 A
It was a modern love affair
   B                A
Completely cool and casual
                                      A9 A
They hardly knew each other was there
       B                                  A
I mean both of them had their own getting off to do
                B
And they had to dream about their own self
A
When they were through


VERSE TWO:


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


VERSE THREE:


        A                  A9 A
And she fancied quite a bit
          B                A
I mean if it felt good she did it
                                         A9 A
And she did it every chance she could get
         B                 A B
With her main modern man and otherwise
        A     B                      A
And her taste wasn't limited to just modern guys


VERSE FOUR:


       D                  E
Since another modern girl showed her
     D                        E
That modern girls know how to hold her
    D                      E
And after she had her eyes opened
        D                         E
All her old close friends started getting closer
    B                        F#m E       A  Asus4  A
And new friends weren't that far   far away


VERSE FIVE:


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


VERSE SIX:


   A                  A9 A B                                 A
So view the modern man     looking, looking, looking, like a soft, soft Picasso
                                    A9 A
He's there with his head in his hand
  B                     A
Repeating to himself an epigram
B                                  A
