 Here it is.  Note, Mac plays this on the CD with a capo at
the second fret.  I'll post the chords as capo 2 and put the
open (no capo) chords in parenthesis.  Enjoy.

G(A)         C(D)        G(A)
This modern age we live in
       C(D)
It's hard to figure out
     G(A)   C(D)       G(A)
Is anybody out there talkin
       D(E)               G(A)    D(E)
Has a clue what they're talking about.
          G(A)                                C(D)
There's twisted trends and psychic friends and tabloid UFOs
                         G(A)
The wisest man with the best laid plans might
D(E)        D7(E7)    G(A)
still say I don't know.
                D(E)
What do you think?  I say well....

Chorus:
      C(D)               G(A)
They must not be that different
    D(E)         C(D)         G(A)
The ass and the hole in the ground
C(D)             G(A)             D(E)
They often are mistaken for each other I have found
        C(D)             G(A)          D(E)
Oh and life rewards the ones who try until they
       Em(F#m)
got it down
     C(D)       G(A)        D(E)       D7(E7)
The difference between the ass and the hole in
      G(A)
the ground

Politics and OJ, Everybody's heard enough
But no amount of talking can change a mind that's been made up
We got Presidential pillow talk, they know just what to say
Whatever side you're on, one thing's for certain either way

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
F#(G#)                       B(C#)
In the morning paper, in the evening news
F#(G#)              B(C#)
It seems so easy to tell
E(F#)                            A(B)
When the Lord looks down on the things we do
G(A)                               E(F#)
He might get angry and he might say well
     D(E)              A(B)
They must not be that different

Solo  E(F#)  A(B)  D(E)  A(B)  E(F#)

D(E)             A(B)           E(F#M)
Life rewards the ones who try until they got it
F#m(G#m)
down
      D(E)       A(B)       E(F#)
The difference between the ass the hole,
D(E)  A(B)  E(F#)          D(E)  A(B)
Yeah their ass and a hole
E(F#)                       A(B)
The ass and the hole in the ground.
