Chord/Tab song: Modern Love

Subject: CHOPROL: Peter Gabriel: "Modern Love"

This is from Peter Gabriel's first self-titled album from about '77.
I've always really liked this up tempo, pop song.

The intro might be a little off, but it's pretty close. It's hard to
pick out exactly what it is through the two guitars and distortion.

Ben.

[F]Hey I'm feeling so [Am]dirty, you're looking so [G]clean
[F]All you can give me is a [Am]spin in your washing [G]machine
[F]I fly off to Rome to my [Dm]prima bella
[F]She leaves me in the rain with a [Dm]telescopic umbrella


[C]Ooh the pain [C] [G] [F] -- [C]Modern love can be a strain [C] [G] [Bb] [F]
[C]Ooh the pain [C] [G] [F] -- [C]Modern love can be a strain [C] [G] [Bb] [F]


I trusted my venus was untouched in her shell
But the pearls in her system were as tacky as hell
For Lady Godiva I came incognito
But her driver had stolen her red hot magneto



[A] [E]
[E]I don't know why they leave me in the [C#m]lurch
To carry on the [C]search
It's driving me [D]up the wall
[E]When I have so much [C#m]passion
Romance is out of [C]fashion
I can't handle [D]Modern love at all



So I worship Diana by the light of the moon
When I pull out my pipe she screams out of tune
In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa
She gives me the wink, then shows me the freezer
