A  E  A  E
A  E  A  E


[Verse 1]
A                             E
  I heard you on the wireless back in '52
A                       E
  Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
A                          E
  If I was young it didn't stop you coming through


[Riff]
A       E
Oh a oh


[Verse 2]
A                               E
  They took the credit for your second symphony
A                          E
  Rewritten by machines on new technology
A                          E
  and now I understand the problems you can see


[Riff]
A       E
Oh a oh   I met your children
A       E
Oh a oh   What did you tell them?


[Chorus]
F#               B     E
Video killed the radio   star


[Verse 3]
A                        E
  And now we meet in an abandoned studio
A                             E
  We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
A                     E
  Do you remember the jingles used to go


[Riff]
A       E
Oh a oh   You were the first one
A       E
Oh a oh   You were the last one


[Chorus]
F#               B     E
Video killed the radio   star


[Chorus]
F#               B     E
Video killed the radio   star


[Bridge]
A              E
In my mind and in my car,
   A                  E
we can't rewind we've gone too far
A                 E
Pictures came and broke your heart,
A                E
put the blame on VCR


[Bridge]
A              E
In my mind and in my car,
   A                  E
we can't rewind we've gone too far
A                 E
Pictures came and broke your heart,
A                E
put the blame on VCR
