D Em7 Em7

D Em7

I'm gonna be a modern day drifter

C9 D

Get out while I can

Dsus

Gonna trade in this life I've been livin'

G Em7

For a pocket full of sand

And a modern day drifter

Don't have to tell no one his plans

D Em7

I'm gonna find that long stretch of highway

Where as long as the sky just goes on

G Em7

And it's never the same

D

A modern day drifter don't ever complain

Chorus:

F#m G A D

Bye bye, high life

'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter

Gonna slip this ring off my finger

G Em7

'Cause everybody understands

That a modern day drifter's got

D

Nothin' but time on his hands

Solo (Play verse chords)

Bye bye, high life

It feels like the right time

To say so long

Keep on goin' strong

And I'll just keep bein' gone

'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter

Oh, yes I am

Gonna slip this ring off my finger

'Cause everybody understands

That a modern day drifter's got

Nothin' but time on his hands

( I like to play this at the end of the

chorus with the A chord)
