Verse 1: (piano arranged for guitar)

Below is roughly what the piano is playing. It's a lot easier to play

on a piano than a guitar. Stick with the basic chords. The timing has

been stretched to fit the lyrics.

E -------------------------------------------------------------------

I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two

Lying a-wake in bed then tuning in on you

If I was young it didn't stop you coming through

Oh - ah - oh.

Verse 2:

D G6 Asus4/A A/Asus4/A

They took the credit for your second symphony

Rewritten by machine and new technology

And now I understand the problems you can see

(Oh-a-oh) I met your children

(Oh-a-oh) What did you tell them ?

Chorus:

D A

Video killed the radio star

Video killed the radio star

D A G

Pictures came and broke your heart

A Bm

(Oh-a-oh-oh-oh)

Verse 3:

And now we meet in an abandoned studio

We hear the playback and it seems so long ago

And you remember the jingles used to go

(Oh-a-oh) You were the first one

(Oh-a-oh) You were the last one

(chorus)

D A G

In my mind and in my car, we

can't re-wind we've gone to far

A Bm

(Oh-a-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-a-oh-oh-oh)

In my mind and in my car, we

Put the blame on VTR

You are the radio star
