Video Killed The Radio Star Chords by Presidents Of The Usa

I figured out these chords because I have an acoustic guitar, and the power chords 
the feel, so the key will be a little bit off. If you want to play it with other people stick 
the power chords.


=====Verse I======================================================

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


=====Verse II=====================================================

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


=====Chorus=======================================================

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


[G]In my  [D] mind and [Em] in my  [C] car,

we  [G] can't [D] rewind we've [Em] gone too [C] far (whoa)

[D] Oh - aoh ? oh - oh ? [Em] oh
[D] Oh ? aoh ? oh - oh - [Em] oh


=====Verse III====================================================

[G]And now we [Am] meet in an a[C]bandoned studi[D]o
[G]You hear the [Am] playback and it [C] seems so long ag[D]o
[G]And you re[Em]member, the jin[D]gles used to go,

[G]oh-a-[C]oh       [D]
You were the first one
[G]oh-a-[C]oh       [D]
You were the last one


=====chorus=======================================================

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


[G]In my  [D] mind and [Em] in my  [C] car,

we  [G] can't [D] rewind we've [Em] gone too [C] far (TOO FAR!)

[D] Oh - aoh ? oh - oh ? [Em] oh
[D] Oh ? aoh ? oh - oh - [Em] oh (Alright!)


=====Guitar Solo==================================================
(play with solo, not as solo)

[Em]    [D]    [C]
[Em]    [D]    [C]
