  C             G         Am               Em    Bb 
A penny in your pocket, a suitcase in your hand, 
F                  C                      Dm                   G 
They won't get you very far, now you're a twenty-first century man. 
C              G     Am                Em     Bb F 
Fly across the city,  flies above the land, 
                C                      Dm                   Bb    Am G#  
You can do most anything, now you're a twenty-first century man. 
 
 
G          F            C           F       F Am G 
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow,(tomorrow) 
G         F          C              F        Am           Dm 
You still wander the fields of your sorrow. What will it bring? 
 
 
  C              G    Am                      Em    Bb F 
One day you're a hero,  the next day you're a clown, 
                       C                          Dm                   G 
There's nothing that is in between, now you're a twenty-first century man. 
C                  G   Am                  Em     Bb F 
You should be so happy,  you should be so glad, 
                 C                  Dm                   Bb    Am G#  
So why are you so lonely, you're a twenty-first century man. 
 
G            F                C           F                G 
You stepped out of a dream believing everything was gone, 
             F                        C                       F         
Return with what you've learned they'll kiss the ground you walk upon. 
 

Solo: C G Am Em Bb F C Dm G 
 
  C                      G               Am 
Things aren't how you thought they were, 
                    Em    Bb F 
Nothing have you planned, 
                        C                     
So pick up your penny and your suitcase, 
              Dm                   Bb  Am  G#       
You're not a twenty-first century man. 
 
G           F             C          F       F Am G 
Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow, (tomorrow) 
G         F          C              F                  Dm 
You still wander the fields of your sorrow (sorrow) Tomorrow 
F                    C    Dm C (F C Dm C) 
Twenty-first century man.
