Modern Day Romance
By: The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Key of G Strumming pattern has a down strum, then mute the strings
momentarily before bringing in an up stroke followed by a quick down
stroke.
G (let ring) C G
We met on the highway, she flagged me down
C G C G
Had a flat on her Stingray, with nobody around
Em C G C
So I helped her out, she said climb in
G D C D G C G
So I ditched me old truck just to see where the party would end.
No chord C G C G
We spent the weekend in Reno in a honeymoon suite.
C G C G
Never saw the casinos, barely took time to eat.
Em C G C
Well I never dreamed she'd take me that far.
G D C D G C G
But by Sunday that lady had taken a hold of my heart.
Chorus:
G C G
It's just a modern day romance, a new kind of game
D G C G
With no time to slow dance in the fast lane.
C G C
Well I tried to love her without any strings
G D C D G C G
But a modern day romance has left me some old-fashioned pains
Instrumental-C G D C G D C D C D
No chord C G C G
She never said goodbye, just a note by the phone
C G C G
It said thanks for the good time, but it's time to move on.
Em C G C
Now I'm out here walking with my thumb in the air
G D C D G C G G
Wondering where she might have gone and why I even care.
