C5             G5         A5               E5    Bb5 
A penny in your pocket, a suitcase in your hand, 
F5                  C5                      D5                   G5 
They won't get you very far, now you're a twenty-first century man. 
C5              G5     A5                E5     Bb5 F5 
Fly across the city,  flies above the land, 
                C5                      D5                   Bb5    A5 G#5  
You can do most anything, now you're a twenty-first century man. 
 
 
G5          F5            C5           F5       F5 A5 G5 
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,(tomorrow) 
G5         F5          C5              F5        A5           D5 
You still wander the fields of your sorrow. What will it bring? 
 
 
  C5              G5    A5                      E5    Bb5 F5 
One day you're a hero,  the next day you're a clown, 
                       C5                          D5                   G5 
There's nothing that is in between, now you're a twenty-first century man. 
C5                  G5   A5                  E5     Bb5 F5 
You should be so happy,  you should be so glad, 
                 C5                  D5                   Bb5    A5 G#5  
So why are you so lonely, you're a twenty-first century man. 
 

G5            F5                C5           F5                G5 
You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone, 
             F5                        C5                       F5         
Return with what you've learned they'll kiss the ground you walk upon.

  C5                      G5               A5 
Things aren't how you thought they were, 
                    E5    Bb5 F5 
Nothing have you planned, 
                        C5                     
So pick up your penny and your suitcase, 
              D5                   Bb5  A5  G#5       
You're not a twenty-first century man. 
 

G5           F5             C5          F5       F5 A5 G5 
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow, (tomorrow) 
G5         F5          C5              F5                  D5 
You still wander the fields of your sorrow (sorrow) Tomorrow

Twenty-first century man.
