Verse 1: 
 
D5 (open)                 E5   G5            A5        
I heard you on     the wireless back   in fifty two 
D5 (open)             E5   G5            A5 
Lying      a-wake  in bed then  tuning in on    you 
F#5           G5            A5 
If I was     young it didn't   stop you coming  through 
F#5     G5      A5 
Oh   -  ah   -    oh. 
 
Verse 2: 
D5             G5              A5       A5 
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:   
       D5 (open)         G5  
  Video killed the radio star 

  Video killed the radio star 
 

D5      D5 bass     B5 
In my mind and in my car 
D5      D5 bass     B5 
We can't rewind we've gone too far 
D5      D5 bass     B5 
Pictures came and broke your heart 
D5      D5 bass      G5 
Put all the blame on VCR 
A5           B5 
(Oh-a-oh-oh-oh) 
 
Verse 3 
 
(Oh-a-oh) You were the first one 
(Oh-a-oh) You were the last one 
 
(Chorus)
