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?

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