--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | C | % | [Verse]
C                  G6     G
   A penny in your pocket,

Am                    Em    C7
   A suitcase in your hand,

F                     C 
   They won't get you very far,

             Dm                   Fadd9    G6 G
Now you're a twenty-first century man
[Verse]
C                  G6     G
    Fly across the city,

Am                Em    C7
    Far above the land,

F                   C
    You can do most anything,

         Dm                   Bb  Bbmaj7  Bb7
You're a twenty-first century man
[Bridge]
G            G7          C         F          Dm  Am
  Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,

G           G7         C              F                     Fm
  You still wander the fields of your sorrow - what will it bring?
[Verse]
C                   G6     G 
   One day you're a hero,

Am                       Em    C7 
   The next day you're a clown,

F                          C 
   There's nothing that is in between,

             Dm                   Fadd9     G6 G
Now you're a twenty-first century man
[Verse]
C                   G6     G
   You should be so happy,

Am                  Em    C7
   You should be so glad,

F                    C
   So why are you so lonely,

         Dm                   Bb  Bbmaj7  Bb7
You're a twenty-first century man
[Middle 8]
G             G7               C            F          
 You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone,

G             G7                          C                   F       Fm     
 Return with what you've learned they'll kiss the ground you walk upon.
[Solo] (= verse) | C | G6 G | Am | Em C7 | F | C |
Dm                   Fadd9     G6 G
Twenty-first century man
[Verse]
C                        G6                 G
   Things aren't how you thought they were,

Am                  Em     C7
   Nothing have you planned,

F                                 C
   So pick up your penny and your suitcase,

             Dm                   Bb  Bbmaj7  Bb7
You're not a twenty-first century man.
[Middle 8]
G            G7          C         F          Dm  Am
  Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,

G           G7         C              F          Fm
  You still wander the fields of your sorrow - tomorrow
[Outro]

Twenty-first century man [maaaaan]

                     C     Dm    Em    
                     [maaaaan]
