AL STEWART - MODERN TIMES CHORDS

Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E

Modern Times This is another Al Stewart song that I cannot find on ultimate guitar so I thought I would add it. I found it on a web site run by Adrie Meijer https://adriemeijerguitartabs.weebly.com/ and claim no credit at all for the tab. All have done is formatted it for this site and made a minor correction to the lyrics to bring them in line with this you tube version (for which you will need the Capo on the second fret if you want to play along) https://youtu.be/Eyyef_GZZNw [Intro]

^EmHello old friend, what a strange coincidence to find you It's been fifteen years since we last met, but I still recognised you

So ^Gcall the bar-man ^Fover here and l^Emet us ^Dfill our ^Cglasses^D And ^Gdrink a toast to olden t^Emimes where al^Dl our memories li^Ce, ^D Where a^Gll our memori^Des li^Eme.

[Verse 1]

^G Do you re^Emmember, the t^Cime when we were ^Gyoung Lowly lo^Emwly l^Cow ^F ^C/E ^G Outside the w^Emindow the ^Cfrosty moonlight ^Ghung On the mid^Emnight snow ^C ^D So we pulled our scarves up around our ^Cfaces in the n^Gight ^DHuddled on the doorsteps where the ^Cfairylights shone b^Gright ^DSinging christmas carols while our ^Cbreath hung in the ^Alight ^GIt all comes ba^Dck like yes^Aterday ^C ^D ^Em It almost s^Deems like ^Cyesterday

[Verse 2]

^G Do you r^Ememember the^C changes as we^G grew Slowly, sl^Emowly, sl^Cow ^F ^C/E ^G Sneaking in the ^Emback way in^Cto movies aft^Ger school For the ev^Emening ^Cshow ^DChasing skinny blue jeaned girls ^Cacross the buildin^Gg site ^DChecking out the dance floor while the b^Cand played hold me ^Gtight ^DSee the blonde one over there - I ^Cbet she'd be alr^Aight ^GIt all comes ^Dback like y^Aesterday ^C ^D ^Em It almost s^Deems like ^Cyesterday.

While I ta^Glked he sat and h^De never made^A a sound ^C Staring a^Gt the glass bes^Dide m^Ee ^C Hey old f^Griend tell me w^Dhat's on your ^Amind ^C Silence g^Grows on you like ^Di-^Evy ^Di-^Cvy

[Verse 3]

^G Do you re^Emmember the ^Cchurch across the^G sands Holy, ho^Emly, ho^C ^F ^C/E ^G You stood out^Emside and planned to ^Ctravel to the ^Glands Where the pi^Emlgrims go^C ^DSo you packed your world up ins^Cide a canvas ^Gsack ^DSet off down the highway with your ^Crings and Kerou^Gac ^DSomeone said they saw you in Nep^Cal a long time b^Aack ^GTell me w^Dhy you lo^Aok away ^C ^D ^Em Don't you ^Dhave a ^Aword to say?

[Bridge 1]

He said I don't remember, I don'^Gt want to remember ^F In fact I've ^Gheard too much alr^Aeady I don't want to think, just l^Geave me here to drink ^FWrapped up in the w^Garmth of New York C^Aity ^C Oh ^Goh, it seems^D you just d^Aon't know ^C And you j^Gust don't unders^Dtand ^Eme ^C Got no u^Gse for the tricks^D of modern t^Aimes ^C They tangle al^Gl my thoughts like ^Div^Ey, ^Div^Cy.

[Verse 4]

^G So I l^Emeft him and I ^Cwent out to the s^Gtreet Lowly, l^Emowly, ^Clow ^F ^C/E ^G Where the ^Emred light girls were ^Ccoming after ^Gme Forty ^Emdollar show^C A^Dll across the city's heart the light^Cs were c^Goming on ^DThe hotel lift softly hummed a ^CCole Porter so^Gng ^DIf I went to look for ^Chim I knew he would^A be gone ^G A picture-^Dcard of y^Aesterday ^C ^D ^Em A photogr^Daph of y^Cesterday

^C And far o^Gff in a des^Derted part of t^Aown ^C The shadows ^Glike a silent ^Darm^Ey ^C Flooded ^Gout the rooms in ^Dpools of blue and ^Abrown ^CAnd stuck to al^Gl the walls like i^Dvy^E, i^Dvy^C, i^Dvy^E.
