[Verse 1]
         E                  A       E
I had a six-transistor when I was a kid
                B         E
Under my pillow I kept it hid
         E                   A            E
When the lights went out and no one could see
                      B             E
Over the airwaves the world came to me

E   A E  |  E   B E


[Verse 2]
                                 A       E
I'd go through the stations 'til I found a game
                              B               E
I knew how they played by the sounds of their names
            E                  A       E
The sluggers hit homers, those pitchers threw smoke
                        B        E
And I watched it all on my radio


[Chorus 1]
       A            E           B            A
At the crack of the bat, I knew how far it'd go
      E                 B          A
And I watched it all on my radio
E                   B         E
I watched it all on my radio

[Verse 3]
         E                       A          E
When the ball game was over, the wrap-up complete
                               B             E
I'd search through the static 'til I found a beat
    E                          A              E
The Beatles and Creedence, the Stones and the Byrds
                             B             E
You should have seen all the groups that I heard


[Verse 4]
       E                        A              E
And on Saturday night, when the skies were all clear
                         B               E
A station from Nashville sometimes would appear
    E                 A             E
The steel guitars and soft Southern twang
                           B          E
The stars of the Grand Ole Opry would sing


[Chorus 2]
    A       E           B          A
And I had a seat on the very front row
    E                   B          A
And I watched it all on my radio
E                   B         E
I watched it all on my radio


[Bridge]
    A                          E
And right about midnight, some preacher came on
   B                        E
To tell me what's right, to tell me what's wrong
    A                          E
And there was that test at the sound of the beep
       E                B           A
It was only a test, the voice would repeat
        E                     B          A
And the National Anthem would sing me to sleep


[Repeat Verse 1]
         E                  A       E
I had a six-transistor when I was a kid
                B         E
Under my pillow I kept it hid
         E                   A            E
When the lights went out and no one could see
                      B             E
Over the airwaves the world came to me


[Repeat Chorus 2]
    A       E           B          A
And I had a seat on the very front row
    E                   B          A
And I watched it all on my radio
E                   B         E
I watched it all on my radio
