Modern Lovers - Astral Plane
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..
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
riff
The astral plane for dark at night
N..
The astral plane or I'll go insane
riff
Well I don't see you and it's getting dark
riff
Today we should have gone to Central Park
riff
Well don't you want to see me ever again?
N..
If not I'll meet you on the astral plane
riff
The astral plane for late at night
riff N.. riff
The astral plane or I'd go insane
(Organ solo)
, (etc.)
riff
Well we've known each other from other lives
riff
I want to see you today
riff
But I'll prove my knowledge of what's inside
N..
When I intercept you on the astral plane
riff
The astral plane for late at night
riff N.. riff
The astral plane or I'll go insane
Alright
riff
Well I don't see you and it's getting dark
riff
I'd have a lot to say
riff
But you're not the one that I can say it to
riff
At least not today
riff
Oh, well I don't remember it afterwords
riff
I don't yet know the words!
riff
But I know we've been together just this week
riff
We've been together on the astral plane
riff
The astral plane for late at night
riff
The astral plane or I'd go insane
(and so on . . . . )
