  Modern Day Romance

  By:  The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

  

  Key of G	Strumming pattern has a down strum, then mute the strings 		

  momentarily before bringing in an up stroke followed by a quick 		down

  stroke.

  

  G (let ring)   C	     G

  We met on the highway, she flagged me down

  		   C			G	C G

  Had a flat on her Stingray, with nobody around

  		Em   C		     G  C

  So I helped her out, she said climb in

       G		    D		  C		D	    G   C  G

  So I ditched me old truck just to see where the party would end.

  

  No chord		C		G	 C  G

  We spent the weekend in Reno in a honeymoon suite. 

  		C		     G	     C  G

  Never saw the casinos, barely took time to eat.

  	      Em     C			G  C	

  Well I never dreamed she'd take me that far.

  	G	    D       C	    D       G       C   G   

  But by Sunday that lady had taken a hold of my heart.

  

  Chorus:

  G			C		G

  It's just a modern day romance, a new kind of game

  		D		   G	    C  G

  With no time to slow dance in the fast lane.

  		C		G	    C

  Well I tried to love her without any strings

  	G	  D		C	  D		G    C   G

  But a modern day romance has left me some old-fashioned pains

  

  Instrumental-C  G  D  C  G  D  C  D  C  D

  

  No chord	  C		   G		C  G

  She never said goodbye, just a note by the phone

  			C			   G       C  G

  It said thanks for the good time, but it's time to move on.

  		  Em    C	      G		 C

  Now I'm out here walking with my thumb in the air

  G		D		C           D      G	C  G               G

  Wondering where she might have gone and why I even care.

  G			C	D			      |------------0----

  It's just a modern day romance, old-fashioned pains.
