 Intro: Arabic Riff
 B (if anyone wants to tab out the actual notes, go for it!)
 
 B                     
 Mary's selling flowers
      F#          
 On a stall in EC1
   E                                    B  
 Tonight she'll be out looking for some fun
 B                               
 Her mate Gerry's in the basement
    F#               
 He hasn't got a home
     E                                        B   
 But prides himself that he's got most things done
 
           F#                
 Meanwhile I'm up on the roof
         E              B    
 Waiting for the sun to shine
   F#                   
 I haven't got an excuse
         E                 F#  
 So I'll just keep my head down
 
 David's in the city
 He's just made a deal
 And the boys they want to take his trousers down
 So they buy some little pills
 Which will make poor David ill
 And the find themselves in some club downtown
 
 Meanwhile I got off the roof
 'Cos the rain keeps pouring down
 And I haven't got a clue
 Why there's faith in all these clowns
 
 B           E      F#    E 
 This is the modern world...
 B           E      F#   E 
 This is the modern world
 
 Arabic riff
 
 Jim and Jane hit the grapevine
 'Cos they're looking for a party
 A secret number knows where it can be found
 So they pick up Pete and Sheila
 And they head down the M40
 But someone said they closed the country down
 
 Meanwhile I've locked myself in the kitchen
 Waiting for the storm to pass
 And if there's too much damage
 I think I'll get the fuck out fast
 
 This is the modern world
