The Modern Lovers were an American rock band led by Jonathan Richman in the 1970s and 1980s.
The original band, billed simply as "The Modern Lovers", existed from 1970–74 but their recordings were not released until 1976 or later. It featured Richman and bassist Ernie Brooks with drummer David Robinson (later of The Cars) and keyboardist Jerry Harrison (later of Talking Heads). The sound of the band owed a great deal to the influence of The Velvet Underground, and is now sometimes classed as "protopunk".

Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the Modern Lovers' 1976 album, *The Modern Lovers.* I would be extremely interested in hearing from anybody with corrections, comments, etc.
These are the chords to this song. I am not sure that I have the last line 100% correct. Please let me know if there are any corrections. I think I am missing something at the very end.
This chord pattern repeats throughout the song.
E My telephone never rings E She'd never call me D I hate myself today CDEDC But I can see through this bitterness and sadness CD And so I won't die CDC Someday I think I'll be dignified and old
Well my friends say that I decieve myself And that I contradict myself And I can't say if they're right But I'm not ashamed Oh I can take a challenge And so I won't die Someday I'll be dignified and old I know it And I say hey kids (Hey kids) I said hey kids (Hey kids) I say someday we'll be dignified and old That's right I said some day we'll be dignified (Hey kids, Hey kids) Someday we'll be dignified (Hey kids, Hey kids) Someday we could be dignified and old together
Well now Look at the mountain My girl and I used to stand on the mountain And the sun shines, she's dead, and I cry But I can see through this death and the sadness And so I won't die now Someday I wanna be dignified and old
Well now, see the desert I sit all alone in the desert And no girl understands me But I can see through this bleakness and grey and sadness And well I won't die now Someday I'll be dignified and old I say, you, don't die now Someday we'll be dignified and old together
