Joel recorded many popular hit songs and albums from 1971 until he stopped recording pop/rock music in 1993.

Modern Woman – Billy Joel
Intro:
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | 2X
Verse 1:
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
You see her sitting with her coffee and her paper
F – Eb6 | F – F13/A |
With her high top sneakers of Italian design
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – Ab6 |
With a long cool stare she aggravates the tension
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – C |
Makes up her face while she makes up her mind
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
Now you're in trouble, maybe she's an intellectual
F – Eb6 | F – F13/A |
What if she figures out you're not very smart
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – Ab6 |
Or maybe she's the quiet type who's into heavy metal
Bb – Ab6 | Bb |
Boy, you got to get it settled, cause she's breaking your heart
Chorus:
C – Dm11 |
Don't try to put on an act
Am7 – Bb | F/A – Gm7 | Bb/F - C/E |
You can't do that to a modern woman
C – Dm11 |
And you're an old fashioned man
Am7 – Bb | F/A – Gm7 | F |
She understands the things you're doin'
Eb |
She's a modern woman
Intro:
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
Verse 2:
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
She looks sleek and she seems so professional
F – Eb6 | F – F13/A |
She's got a lot of confidence, it's easy to see
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – Ab6 |
You want to make a move but you feel so inferior
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – C |
Cause under that exterior is someone who's free
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
She's got style and she's got her own money
F – Eb6 | F – F13/A |
So she's not another honey you can quickly disarm
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – Ab6 |
She's got the eyes that make you realize
Bb – Ab6 | Bb |
She won't be hypnotized by your usual charm
Chorus*:
C – Dm11 |
You've got your plan of attack
Am7 – Bb | F/A – Gm7 | Bb/F - C/E |
That won't attract the modern woman
C – Dm11 |
When you're an old fashioned man
Am7 – Bb | F/A – Gm7 | F |
She understands the things you're doin'
Eb |
She's a modern woman
Interlude:
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
DbM7 | Eb6 | DbM7 | AbM7 | DbM7 | Eb6 | DbM7 | Csus4 | % |
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
Verse 3:
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
Time goes by and you're sharing an apartment
F – Eb6 | F – F13/A |
She says she loves you but she doesn't know why
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – Ab6 |
In the morning she leaves you with your coffee and your paper
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – C |
It's a strange situation for an old fashioned guy
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 |
But times have changed things are not the same, baby
F – Eb6 | F – F13/A |
You overcame such a bad attitude
Bb – Ab6 | Bb – Ab6 |
Rock and roll just used to be for kicks and nowadays it's politics
Bb – Ab6 | Bb |
And after 1986 what else could be new
Chorus**:
C – Dm11 |
You got to learn to relax
Am7 – Bb | F/A – Gm7 | Bb/F - C/E |
And face the facts of modern woman
C – Dm11 |
When you're an old fashioned man
Am7 – Bb | F/A – Gm7 | F |
She understands the things you're doin'
Eb |
She's a modern woman
Outro:
F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | F – Eb6 | (till fade)
