This one may be a bit off, but...
21st Century Man
Electric Light Orchestra
from the album "Time"
"Transcribed" by Chris Gaasch
C G
A penny in your pocket,
Am Em
A suitcase in your hand,
F C
They won't get you very far,
Dm G
Now you're a twenty-first century man.
C G
Fly across the city,
Am Em
Far above the land,
F C
You can do most anything,
Dm G
You're a twenty-first century man.
G F C F F C
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,
G F C F
You still wander the fields of your sorrow.
One day you're a hero,
The next day you're a clown,
There's nothing that is in between,
Now you're a twenty-first century man.
You should be so happy,
You should be so glad,
So why are you so lonely,
You're a twenty-first century man.
You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone,
Return with what you've learned they'll kiss the ground you walk upon.
Things aren't how you thought they were,
Nothing have you planned,
So pick up your penny and your suitcase,
You're not a twenty-first century man.
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,
You still wander the fields of your sorrow.
Twenty-first century man.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
