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.

Thanks,

Astral Plane

This song has two main riffs. listen to the record to get the feeling

of the time, etc, but the basic rifs are the "E riff":

e-0---0----------------0--

B-0---0----------------0--

G-1---1----------------1--

D-2---2----------------2--

A-2---2----------------2--

E-0---0---3---5---3----0--

I guess that would be written as E E/G E/A E/G E , but it is

easier for me to think of it this way.

The "A riff" is about the same except it uses an A intead of an E.

e-0---0----------------0--

B-2---2----------------2--

G-2---2----------------2--

D-2---2----------------2--

A-0---0----------------0--

E-X---X---3---5---3----X--

The chord progression during the organ solos sounds like:

Here are the lyrics with the chords:

(N.C. means "No Chord")

N.C. E (hit the three high strings)

Tonight I'm all alone in my room

N.C. E

I'll go insane if you won't sleep with me

Or still be with you

I'm gonna meet you on the astral plane

E riff

The astral plane for dark at night

E N.C. E

The astral plane or I'll go insane

E riff

Well I don't see you and it's getting dark

E riff

Today we should have gone to Central Park

A riff

Well don't you want to see me ever again?

E N.C.

If not I'll meet you on the astral plane

E riff

The astral plane for late at night

E riff E N.C. E riff

The astral plane or I'd go insane

(Organ solo)

E A E B E, (etc.)

E riff

Well we've known each other from other lives

E riff

I want to see you today

A riff

But I'll prove my knowledge of what's inside

E N.C.

When I intercept you on the astral plane

E riff

The astral plane for late at night

E riff E N.C. E riff

The astral plane or I'll go insane

Alright

E riff

Well I don't see you and it's getting dark

E riff

I'd have a lot to say

A riff

But you're not the one that I can say it to

E riff

At least not today

E riff

Oh, well I don't remember it afterwords

E riff

I don't yet know the words!

E riff

But I know we've been together just this week

E riff

We've been together on the astral plane

E riff

The astral plane for late at night

E riff

The astral plane or I'd go insane

(and so on . . . . )
