[VERSE 1]
         G                  G9 G
It was a modern love affair
   Am                 C
Completely cool and casual
     G                         
They hardly knew each other was 
       G9 G
there
       Am                        
I mean both of them had their own 
                C
getting off to do
                Am               
And they had to dream about their 
          G
own self
Am                C
When they were through


[VERSE 2]
        C                D
But the modern girl was elated
     G        C           D
With what the revolution gave her
G   C                  D        
And since she was liberated she 
      G
could have
C               D
Everything that striked her fancy

[VERSE 3]
        G                  G9 G
And she fancied quite a bit
          Am               C
I mean if it felt good she did it
    G                          
And she did it every chance she 
          G9 G
could get
         Am                 
With her main modern man and 
 C
otherwise
        Am                         
And her taste wasn't limited to 
  C
just modern guys


[VERSE 4]
       C                  D
Since another modern girl showed her
G    C                        D
That modern girls know how to hold 
her
G   C                      D
And after she had her eyes opened
    G   C                         
All her old close friends started 
D
getting closer
    Am                       C   
And new friends weren't that far 
D     G   Gsus4  G
  far away


[VERSE 5]
        G                          
But the modern man he just wasn't 
  D
so lucky
      Em                D         
He being shook from his usual role
    Am           D
 as a heartbreaker
       G                      
He was completely battered and 
   D
bewildered
                 Em         D
When he actually    started in 
          Am            D
feeling something for her
       Em                       
And he then, he discovered a new 
  C
emotion
          G                        
When they stopped ending up 
     D
together as frequently
Em                     C
And when he finally confronted her 
with the question
             G                
Had she been bedding down with 
               D             Em
others in the periphery without him?
                       C
And she replied,  Hell yes ain't it 
funny?


[VERSE 6]
   G                  G9 G Am   
So view the modern man     
                             C
looking, looking, looking, like a 
soft, soft Picasso
     G                             
He's there with his head in his 
 G9 G
hand
  Am                    C
Repeating to himself an epigram
Am                C               G9
Live by the scam, die by the scam
