[Verse 1]
C
In the beginning
C
Long time ago
F
Never was a woman
G
Pure as driven snow
C
That was illusion
C
That was a lie
  F
Woman was a human
G
Woman was a light

[Chorus]
F            G
Round up the old perceptions
C           F
Lay them on down
             G
They’re only tellin’ stories and they’re
C                        F
Gettin' in the way right now
                G
Cause you can’t see the future
C                    F
You can’t change the past
           G          C
Come see a modern woman

[Verse 2]
C
Might have a vision
C
That won’t let her rest
F                 G
Might be a vision in a satin dress
C
Might make you coffee
C
Might make it rain
F                                G
Might confuse a smaller mind just sittin’ on a train

[Chorus]
F            G
Round up the old perceptions
C           F
Lay them on down
             G
They’re only tellin’ stories and they’re
C                        F
Gettin' in the way right now
                G
Cause you can’t see the future
C                    F
You can’t change the past
           G          C
Come see a modern woman

[Guitar Solo]
C    F  G  C

[Verse 3]
C
Could be forgiven
C
Could be to blame
F
Could leave you wonderin’ if you’ll
G
Ever be the same

[Out-Chorus]
F            G
Round up the old perceptions
C           F
Lay them on down
             G
They’re only tellin’ stories and they’re
C                        F
Gettin' in the way right now
                G
Cause you can’t see the future
C                    F
You can’t change the past
           G          C  F
Come see a modern woman
           G         C  F
Come see a modern woman
           G         C
Come see a modern woman
