The Tragically Hip – The Modern Spirit (Guitar)

C
In the dark before the train

C
Just beyond the barn glow

                     Bb
Where no dissident remains

                     C      F Eb
Driving it like we stole it

C
Snow falling, a silver poet

C
To concentrate the gallows

                                  Bb
And subtracting us like the wolf does

                     C      F Eb
Driving it like we stole it

C
But we're getting nearer, nearer

                           F
Getting near that modern spirit, yeah

C
I can hear it, hear it, hear it

                          F    Eb  C
I can hear that modern spirit

C
On the open road for boys

C
A white and an open throat

                          Bb
Night slips back with no noise

                          C    F Eb
Inside the hitch-hiker's coat

C
But we're getting nearer, nearer

                           F
Getting near that modern spirit, yeah

C
I can hear it, hear it, hear it

                        F
I can hear the modern spirit, yeah

F
Can't you just hear it, hear it, hear it?

Eb
Winter counting everything, we're near it

F
We're getting nearer nearer, nearer

Eb
Friendship changing everything, we're near it

Ab         Bb
I can hear it

C
Is this the modern spirit?

                     F
Is this the modern spirit, yeah

C
Is this the modern spirit

                     F
This is the modern spirit, yeah

C
This is the modern spirit

                     F
This is the modern spirit, yeah

C
This is the modern spirit

                     F      Eb   C

F Eb    C
Yeah , yeah
