[Intro] D Em7 C9(add9) D Em7 Em7 [Verse]
 D                     Em7
I'm gonna be a modern day drifter

 C9              D
Get out while I can

                                    D7
Gonna trade in this life I've been livin'

 G                    Em7
For a pocket full of sand
And a modern day drifter
                                D
Don't have to tell no one his plans

 D                                    Em7
I'm gonna find that long stretch of highway

 C9                    D
Where no one knows my name

                                  D7
Where as long as the sky just goes on

 G                  Em7
And it's never the same

                                   D
A modern day drifter don't ever complain
[Chorus]
F#m  G    A    D
Bye bye, high life

 F#m   G        A
Feels like the right time

       F#m  G
To say so long

          A     D
Keep on goin' strong

               F#m  G        A (see bottom)
And I'll just keep on bein' gone
[Verse]
             D                     Em7
'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter

 C9    D
Yes I am

                             D7
Gonna slip this ring off my finger

  G                  Em7
'Cause everybody understands
That a modern day drifter's got
                         D
Nothin' but time on his hands
[Solo] F#m G A D F#m G A Bye bye, high life [Chorus]
F#m  G    A    D
Bye bye, high life

 F#m   G        A
Feels like the right time

       F#m  G
To say so long

          A     D
Keep on goin' strong

               F#m  G        A (see bottom)
And I'll just keep on bein' gone
[Verse]
             D                     Em7
'Cause I'm gonna be a modern day drifter

 C9    D

                             D7
Gonna slip this ring off my finger

  G                  Em7
'Cause everybody understands
That a modern day drifter's got
                         D
Nothin' but time on his hands
