[G] [A]
[C] [G]
[A]
[D] [C] [G]
Sitting alone in his rocking chair [Am] with a pistol in his hand.
[D] Carl Dane's got nothing left [G] to give.
We see his face at the picture show [A] in the silent days.
The only life he would know, but [D] by the middle of April,
he had no reason [G] to live.
But when he opened his mouth, [Am] oh, you'd probably say the same.
[D] Invention of sound, and Carl Dane was out of [G] the game.
Give him a job, five dollars a day.
[Am] Yeah, the studio told him that was all they would pay.
And [C] when they found him dead, he left himself for no one [G] to claim.
And it's a modern world [Am] that we live in, [C] and you got no place [G] to go.
It's a modern world [Am] that we live in, [C] and it just ain't made [G] for me.
In the show of the freaks, yeah, I would probably guess
he'd [Am] find a stint in there with hair from her chin to [Em] her chest.
And [D] then they shut it down.
They found it politically [G] incorrect.
So it was on with the high heels and off with the beard.
[Am] When she'd had a good shape, she didn't look [Em] half weird.
So [D] now it's nights in the corners just to come up [G] with friends.
And it's a shame the way [Am] Marcel would treat us so unkind.
[D] She picked up the pipe to make it through [G] the day.
Well, you can find her there, [Am] her face down in the curb.
[C] Two inches of water in the grave that [G] she lay.
And it's a modern world [Am] that we live in, [C] and you got no place [G] to go.
It's a modern world [Am] that we live in, [C] and it just ain't made [G] for me.
Jesse, James, Pat, Garrett, Billy, the kid.
[A] Ain't no room inside the world for all the things that they did.
[C] Yeah, Rudolph, Valentino, even Cool Hand Luke.
Just [G] like a king, queen, a pharaoh, like a jester or duke.
Robert Louis Stevenson and Jekyll [A] and Hyde.
It came to you, Nobama, Bonnie and Clyde.
[C] Randall McMurphy, I think he flew too [G] high.
Miles Davis, Ellington, and Holiday.
[A] Even Dylan's having trouble [Am] trying to make it today.
Well, [C] it's a shame to say that's just the way that [G] it goes.
Gene Kelly tap dancing, singing the blues.
[A] Booth-legging, whiskey, prohibition, abuse.
[C] I don't know what to do.
I just have to learn, I [G] suppose.
But it's a modern world [A] that we live in, [C] and you got no place [G] to go.
It's a modern world [A] that we live in, [C] and it just ain't made [G] for me.
It's a modern world [A] that we live in.
[C] It's a modern world [G] that we live in.
It's a modern world [A] that we live in.
[C] It's a modern world [G] that we live in.
It's a modern world [A] that we live in.
[C] And you got no place [G] to go.
It's a modern world [A] that we live in.
[C] And it just ain't made [G] for me.
