 Modern Lovers - Astral Plane
 
 Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the
 Modern Lovers' 1976 album, *The Modern Lovers.*
 I would be extremely interested in hearing from
 anybody with corrections, comments, etc.
 
 Thanks,

 This song has two main riffs. listen to the record to get the feeling
 of the time, etc, but the basic rifs are the "E riff":

 e-0---0----------------0--
 B-0---0----------------0--
 G-1---1----------------1--
 D-2---2----------------2--
 A-2---2----------------2--
 E-0---0---3---5---3----0--
 

 
 I guess that would be written as E E/G E/A E/G E , but it is
 easier for me to think of it this way.
 
 The "A riff" is about the same except it uses an A intead of an E.

 e-0---0----------------0--
 B-2---2----------------2--
 G-2---2----------------2--
 D-2---2----------------2--
 A-0---0----------------0--
 E-X---X---3---5---3----X--
 

 
 The chord progression during the organ solos sounds like:
 
 E A E B E 
      
 Here are the lyrics with the chords:
 
 
 (N.C. means "No Chord")
 
 
 N.C. E (hit the three high strings)
 Tonight I'm all alone in my room

 I'll go insane if you won't sleep with me
          E          
 Or still be with you
 E                                     
 I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane

 Well I don't see you and it's getting dark
