MODERN HISTORY (Now I'm A Cowboy) - THE AUTEURS 
song written by Luke Haines
(transcribed by Tobias Johansson)

This was transcribed from the acoustic version on the b-side of Chinese 
Bakery, but it's almost as the album version.


Intro A D ? A

A       D			        F#m
	    Well the desk porter laughed
D		               A
News of our legend and our exploits
	     D     A	
Travelled car	
	       	     D     A   
From bell-hop to hired car
    	       G
All this and more
D	             A
Modern History
D	             A
On the third floor


A        D		  F#m       D
So is this where he died
      	            A
Spend your life cutting words up
        D    A 
With a knife
                           D    A   
I light a candle for each night
                    G
You wate away your life
D                A
Modern history
D                A
On the third floor

Bm    E      A            F#m               
Well they´re never gonna forget us
Bm    	     E        
We´re the most famous
A	     F#m
People that they know
Bm        E
Went to a party
A	        F#m
I didn´t say a word
Bm		                 F#m
You don´t know how lucky you were
Bm		                 E	
You don´t know how lucky you are

(same chords as verse 1&2)
So we set fire to your room
And we bandaged up your
hands and arms - now
Where´s your beauty gone

Modern history
On the third floor
