  Hi,

  

  This one  even has the solo tabbed out.

  

  Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the 

  Modern Lovers' 1976 album, *The Modern Lovers.* 

  I would be extremely interested in hearing from 

  anybody with corrections, comments, etc.

  

  Thanks,

  Old World

  

  Here is another Modern Lovers song that has two chords (this time they

  are A & G).

  

  Opening riff goes like this:

  (please listen to the record for the rhythm, feel, and ability to keep

  your place in the old world, etc., but this is the basic idea)

  

      A

  

  e---0-0-0-3-0-3-3-0-3-3-0-----------

  B---2-2-2---2-------------3-3-3-----

  G---2-2-2---2-----------------------  REPEAT FOUR TIMES

  D---2-2-2---2-----------------------

  A---0-0-0---0-----------------------

  E---x-x-x---x-----------------------

  

  

  After the opening riff, while singing the song, this little riff can

  be played at the end of each phrase in which the chord is an A:

  

      A

  

  e---0------------------------------3--0-----0--

  B---2------------------------------------3-----

  G---2------------------------------------------

  D---2------------------------------------------

  A---0------------------------------------------

  E---x------------------------------------------

  

  Well the old world may be dead . . . 

  

  

  

  

  (I think this little end riff is probably played by the organ, as it

  is heard on the record, but this seems to work for solo guitar.)

  

  

  

  The solo riff from the middle of the song goes soemthing like this:

  

  

  

  e------0-------0---0-------------------------------

  B----2---2-------2---------------------------------

  G---------------------2----------0--2--------------

  D--------------------------------------------------

  A--------------------------------------------------

  E--------------------------------------------------

  

  e------0-------0-0-0---3-2------0------------------

  B----2---2------------------2------------2---------

  G--------------------------------------------------

  D--------------------------------------------------

  A--------------------------------------------------

  E--------------------------------------------------

  

  e------0-------0---0-------------------------------

  B----2---2-------2---------------------------------

  G----------------------2----------0--2-------------

  D--------------------------------------------------

  A--------------------------------------------------

  E--------------------------------------------------

  

  e------0-------0-0-0---3-2------0------------------

  B----2---2------------------2------------2---------

  G--------------------------------------------------

  D--------------------------------------------------

  A--------------------------------------------------

  E--------------------------------------------------

  

  (please listen to the record for the exact rhythm here)

  

  e----0---0---0---0-------------

  B--2---2---2---2---2-0---------

  G-----------------------2------

  D------------------------------

  A------------------------------

  E------------------------------

  

  

  e----0---0---0---0---3-2------0---

  B--2---2---2---2----------2-------

  G---------------------------------

  D---------------------------------

  A---------------------------------

  E---------------------------------

  

  e----0---0---0---0-------------

  B--2---2---2---2---2-0---------

  G-----------------------2------

  D------------------------------

  A------------------------------

  E------------------------------

  

  

  e----0---0---0---0---3-2------0---

  B--2---2---2---2----------2-------

  G---------------------------------

  D---------------------------------

  A---------------------------------

  E---------------------------------

  

  (then just these strummed chords a few times)

  

     A                G              A

  

  e----------------------------------------

  B----------------------------------------

  G----------------------------------------

  D----------------------------------------

  A----------------------------------------

  E----------------------------------------

  

  (and so on . . . .)

  

  

  

  Here it is with the lyrics:

  

  

  Opening riff (see above)

  

  A                              (end riff <see above>)

  Well the old world may be dead

  A

  Our parents can't understand

  G

  But I still have parents

  A

  And I still love the old world

  A

  Oh, I had a New York girlfriend

  A

  And she couldn't understand how I could

  G                  A

  Still have parents and still love the old world

  

  So I told her:

  A

  I want to keep my place in the old world

  A

  Keep my plave in the arcane

  G                           A

  'Cause I still have parents and I still love the old world

  A

  Alright

  A

  I say old world

  A

  I say old world

  A     G    A

  I say

  

  Well I see a '50's apartment house

  Bleak in the morning sun

  But I still love the '50's

  And I still love the old world

  I wanna keep my place in the old world

  Keep my place in the arcane

  'Cause I still have parents and I still love the old world

  Alright

  

  SOLO    (see the solo riff tabbed above, insert it here)

  

  I see the '50's apartment house

  It's bleak in the 1970's sun

  But I still love the '50's

  And I still love the old world

  I wanna keep my place in this old world

  Keep my place in the arcane knowledge

  And I still love the '50's and I still love the old world

  

  Alright now we say bye bye old world

  Gotta help the new world

  Oh bye bye

  I say bye bye bye bye old world
