Turn Up the Radio
Autograph
Sign In Please [1984]
Tabbed by hurryfashion
Classic 80’s glam metal song, with a killer hook. I found a number of other tabs and
chord charts online, but none
seemed to have it quite right. Simplified a bit for easy rockin’, but the crucial
parts are here, except the solo.
Comments and corrections welcomed. Also, please support the original artist by
purchasing the MP3.
Standard Tuning, in G. (Downtune one half step to Eb to play with CD)

Verse 1
G C F G
I'm workin’ hard, you're workin’ too. We do it every day.
For every minute I have to work, I need a minute of play.
Day in, day out, all week long, Things go better with rock.
The only time I turn it down, Is when I'm sleepin' it off.
CHORUS-1
Turn up, the radio, I need the music, gimme some more.
Turn up, the radio, I wanna feel it, got to gimme some more.

Resume Riff 1 and Riff 2
G C F G
I wanna shake, I wanna dance, So count it off one-two-three.
I feel the beat, I'm in a trance, No better place to be.
Daytime nighttime, any time, Things go better with rock.
I'm goin' twenty-four hours a day, I can't seem to stop.
CHORUS-2
E D D A C G Esus4 E
Turn up, the radio, I need the music, gimme some more.
Turn up, the radio, I wanna feel it, got to gimme some more.
Turn up, the radio, I wanna feel it, got to gimme some more.
GUITAR SOLO: over [A D G A]
REPEAT CHORUS-1 twice. Then outro solo and fade. Enjoy!
