[Verse]
                       G         
When I was born, Harry Truman was 
          C
the president
When I was born, Harry was the 
     G
president
    C
Now Harry S Truman was the president
  F             D7
A loaf of bread cost ten cents
     C           G           
When I was born, Harry was the 
       C
president

[Verse]
                      G            
When I was born, they thought I was
       C
 gonna die (stomach trouble)
Daddy took to drinking and my momma,
              G
 she began to cry
      C
Yeah, Hoagie sang Old Buttermilk Sky
    F                 D7
The year was Nineteen Forty-Five
     C                G           
When I was born, they thought I 
        C
was gonna die

[Chorus]
G
Modern love, modern art
    F                 C
You grow up, then you fall apart
    F                     C
You fall apart, then they put you 
back together
    D7               G
Now Hoagie's singing Stormy Weather
        F
Now you got a wife and kids to feed
     C
They all got different wants and 
needs
            G
And there's two damn things that'll 
break your heart
C
Modern love and modern art

[Verse]
                  G               
In Nineteen Fifty-Three I went to 
C
school
Continúa después del anuncio
And the nuns, they hit me with their
        G
 Golden Rule
              C
They said, to calm your nerves, 
we're on their way
   F                 D7
We knelt beneath our desks and 
prayed
   C                  G            
We spent out dimes on Pagan babies 
C
too

[Verse]
                        G       
Well, in Nineteen Sixty-Four the 
         C
Beatles came
Yeah, I snuck in the Hollywood Bowl 
            G
right up on stage
           C
And that's where I saw Bob Dylan's 
show
     F           D7
When he sang Desolation Row
    C             G               
And somehow I was never quite the 
C
same

[Chorus]
G
Modern love, modern art
    F                 C
You grow up, then you fall apart
    F                     C
You fall apart, then they put you 
back together
    D7               G
Now Hoagie's singing Stormy Weather
        F
Now you got a wife and kids to feed
     C
They all got different wants and

                    G              
In Nineteen Seventy-One I formed a 
C
band
Dave said, "Tonight upon the Skid 
    G
Row stand
              C
We're singing Hank and Lefty, Buck 
and Merle
   F           D7
To Indians and topless girls"
       C           G          
That's where my education still 
    C
began

[Verse]
                          G        
Now I make up songs, some real and 
        C
some pretend
But my sister says my songs need 
      G
happy ends
            C
Yeah, we'll all live happily ever 
after
     F              D7
Man, that'll be the final chapter
      C                   G   
Don't know ever lasts for real, 
            C
that's pretend

[Chorus]

Modern love, modern art
    F                 C
You grow up, then you fall apart
    F                     C
You fall apart, then they put you 
back together
