++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 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) Well the old world ... A Our parents can't u... G But I still ... A And I still love ... A Oh, I had a New York .... A And she couldn't ... G A Still have parents and ... So I ... A I want to keep my place in ... A Keep my plave in ... G A 'Cause I still have parents and I .... A Alright A I say ...
