Tragically Hip - The Modern Spirit Chords

[Intro]
C
 
[Verse]
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
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Verse]
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
 
[Chorus]
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
 
[Interlude]
F Eb
E Eb
 
[Bridge]
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
 
[Outro]
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
This is the modern spirit, yeah
F Eb    C
Yeah , yeah
