Verse:
C#             Ebm                 F#              Ab
I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
C# Ebm F# Ab
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
C# Ebm F# Ab
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
C# Ebm F# Ab
Oh - A oh
 
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:
C#                  F#
Video killed the radio star
C#                  F#
Video killed the radio star

C#           Ab/C             Bbm            F#
Pictures came and broke your heart
C#       F#
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go

Oh-a oh
You were the first one
Oh-a oh
You were the last one

Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star

In my mind and in my car
We can't rewind we've gone to far

Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

C#           Ab/C             Bbm            F#
In my mind and in my car

We can't rewind we've gone to far
C#           Ab/C             Bbm            F#
Pictures came and broke your heart
C#           Ab/C             Bbm            F#
Put the blame on VTR

C#             Ebm                 F#              Ab

You are a radio star
