    Video Killed The Radio Star

  • Artist:

    Presidents Of The USA

  • Album:

    Funk Punk and Twang

All the tabs I found for this song just didn't sound right, so I went through and 
made one myself. Just the basic chords for the song. For it to sound pretty much 
exactly like PotUSA, you need to play it with a capo on the first fret but I find 
that that makes the 'oh-a-oh's a touch too high for me, so I play it without the capo.

Capo 1st Fret

++Verse++

[C]I heard you [D] on my wireless [F] back in fifty [G] two
[C]Lyin? [D] awake intent on [F] tuning in on [G] you
[Em]If I was [F] young it didn't [G] stop you coming through
[Em]oh-A-[F]oh       [G]


[C] They took the [D] credit for your [F]second sympho[G]ny
[C] Rewritten  [D] by machine on [F] new technolo[G]gy
[Em] And now I  [F] understand the [G] supernova scene
[Em]oh-A-[F]oh       [G] I met the children
[Em]oh-A-[F]oh       [G] What can you sell them?


++Chorus++

[C]Video killed the  [F] radio star
[C]Video killed the  [F] radio star

[C]In my mind [G]and in my [Am]car,

we  [C] can't rewind [G] we've gone too [Am] far

[G] Oh - aoh ? oh - oh ? [Am] oh
[G] Oh ? aoh ? oh - oh - [Am] oh


++Verse++

[C]And now we [D] meet in an a[F]bandoned studi[G]o
[C]You hear the [D] playback and it [F] seems so long ag[G]o
[Em]And you re[F]member, the jin[G]gles used to go,
[Em]oh-A-[F]oh       [G] You were the first one
[Em]oh-A-[F]oh       [G] You were the last one


++Chorus++

[C]Video killed the  [F] radio star
[C]Video killed the  [F] radio star

[C]In my mind [G]and in my [Am]car,

we  [C] can't rewind [G] we've gone too [Am] far

[G] Oh - aoh ? oh - oh ? [Am] oh
[G] Oh ? aoh ? oh - oh - [Am] oh Alright!

[G]	[Am]	[F]	[Am]	[F]	[G]


++Chorus++

[C]Video killed the  [F] radio star
[C]Video killed the  [F] radio star

[C]In my mind [G]and in my [Am]car,

we  [C] can't rewind [G] we've gone too [Am] far

[C] Pictures came, [G] broke your [Am] heart
So [C]put all the [G] blame on [F] VCR


(No guitar) You are... the radio star [x2]


[C]Video killed the  [F] radio star [x7]
Video killed that radio star, yes it did

[G]	[Am]	[F]	[Am]	[F]	[G]
