          D                        Dmaj7
If you’re drivin’ into town with a dark cloud above you,
G/D                            A7Sus4
Dial in the number who’s bound to love you.
          A7/D to D    A7/D to D
Oh, honey you     turn me      on
G/D  D7  G/D  A7/D to D  A7/D to D
     I’m a    ra- - - di-o
G/D  D7  G/D  A7/D to D  A7/D to D   G/D
     I’m a    coun- - try        sta-tion
D7  G/D  A7/D to D  A7/D to D   G/D
I’m a    little  bit        cor-ny
D7  G/D  G        G6     G        G6
I’m a    wildwood flower   wavin’ for you
G             G6       A7/D to D  A7/D to D
  A broad-cas-tin’ tow- - - - - - er,
G/D  D7   G/D  D
Wa- -vin’      for you

        D                           A7Sus4
And I’m sendin’ you out this signal here,
  D                            A7Sus4
I hope you can pick it up loud        and clear.
           A7/D to D  A7/D to D    G/D
I know you don’t   like       weak women,
D7  G/D  A7/D to D  A7/D to D
You get  bored   so quick
G/D  D7  G/D  A7/D to D  A7/D to D        G/D
     And you  don’t   like      strong wo-men,
D7     G/D     A7/D to D  A7/D to D
‘Cause they’re hip     to your    tricks,
G/D  D7  G/D G   G6           G        G6
It’s been    dir-ty for dirty down the line,
             G        G6
But you know   I come when you whistle,
A7/D to D  A7/D to D  G/D  D7   G/D  D
When    you’re        lo- -vin’ and  kind

    D                 A7Sus4
But if you’ve got too        many doubts,
           D                             A7Sus4
If there’s no good reception for me then tune   me out
              A7/D to D     A7/D to D   G/D
‘Cause honey, who     needs the     sta-tic?
D7  G/D  A7/D to D   A7/D to D
    It   hurts   the head
G/D  D7  G/D  A7/D to D  A7/D to D   G/D
     And you  wind    up         cra-ckin’
D7  G/D  A7/D to D    A7/D to D   G/D  D7   G/D
And the  day     goes         dis-mal  from
G        G6                  G      G6
  “Break-fast Barney” to the   sign- - off prayer,
G        G6         G                  G6
  What a sorry face   you get to wear.

G                    G6                 G              G6
I’m gonna tell you a-gain now if you’re still list’nin there,
          D                        Dmaj7
If you’re drivin’ into town with a dark  cloud above you
G/D                            A7Sus4
Dial in the number who’s bound to     love you.

          D                         Dmaj7
If you’re lyin’ on the beach with a tran- sistor going
G/D                                A7Sus4
Kick off the sandflies, honey, the love’s still flowing.

        D                                Dmaj7
If your head says, “Forget it!” but your heart’s still smokin’
G/D                         A7Sus4
Call me at the station, the lines  are open.
