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)

[Intro]
Em
Hello old friend, what a strange coincidence to find you

It's been fifteen years since we last met, but I still recognised you
G F Em D C D
So call the bar-man over here and let us fill our glasses
G Em D C D
And drink a toast to olden times where all our memories lie,
G D Em
Where all our memories lie.

[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Do you remember, the time when we were young
Em C F C/E
Lowly lowly low
G Em C G
Outside the window the frosty moonlight hung
Em C
On the midnight snow
D C G
So we pulled our scarves up around our faces in the night
D C G
Huddled on the doorsteps where the fairylights shone bright
D C A
Singing christmas carols while our breath hung in the light
G D A C D Em
It all comes back like yesterday
D C
It almost seems like yesterday

[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Do you remember the changes as we grew
Em C F C/E
Slowly, slowly, slow
G Em C G
Sneaking in the back way into movies after school
Em C
For the evening show
D C G
Chasing skinny blue jeaned girls across the building site
D C G
Checking out the dance floor while the band played hold me tight
