D            G               Em         A
 I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
D     G               Em            A   
 Lying awake intent at tuning in on you. 
D         G               Em          A
 If I was young it didn't stop you coming through. 

D  G  Em  A
Oh-a oh 

D              G               Em        A
 They took the credit for your second symphony.
D          G              Em      A 
 Rewritten by machine and new technology,  
D          G              Em           A
 and now I understand the problems you can see. 

D    G 
Oh-a oh 
Em          A
 I met your children 
D    G
Oh-a oh 
Em            A
 What did you tell them? 
D     G          Em    A
Video killed the radio star. 
D     G          Em    A
Video killed the radio star. 

D        G        Em         A
Pictures came and broke your heart. 
D  G     Em   A
Oh-a-a-a oh 

    D G Em A     D G Em A
You are a  radio star
    D G Em A     D G Em A
you are a  radio star
