***MODERN WORLD - by Darryl Hunt

from the album "Waiting For Herb"

Modern World - as perfomed by The Pogues

Intro: Arabic Riff

B (if anyone wants to tab out the actual notes, go for it!)

B

Mary's selling flowers

F#

On a stall in EC1

E B

Tonight she'll be out looking for some fun

B

Her mate Gerry's in the basement

F#

He hasn't got a home

E B

But prides himself that he's got most things done

F#

Meanwhile I'm up on the roof

E B

Waiting for the sun to shine

F#

I haven't got an excuse

E F#

So I'll just keep my head down

David's in the city

He's just made a deal

And the boys they want to take his trousers down

So they buy some little pills

Which will make poor David ill

And the find themselves in some club downtown

Meanwhile I got off the roof

'Cos the rain keeps pouring down

And I haven't got a clue

Why there's faith in all these clowns

B E F# E

This is the modern world...

B E F# E

This is the modern world

Arabic riff

Jim and Jane hit the grapevine

'Cos they're looking for a party

A secret number knows where it can be found

So they pick up Pete and Sheila

And they head down the M40

But someone said they closed the country down

Meanwhile I've locked myself in the kitchen

Waiting for the storm to pass

And if there's too much damage

I think I'll get the fuck out fast

This is the modern world
