(intro) Bm/D E/C# D/B  E

(verse 1)
A/C#                      D                           E
I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
A/C#                      D                           E
Lying a-wake  in bed then  tuning in on  you
A/C#                      D                           E
If I was  young it didn't  stop you coming  through
A/C#                      D                           E
Oh   -  ah   -    oh.

(verse 2)
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)
A                         D
Video killed the radio star
A                         D
Video killed the radio star
A           E/G#                 F#m
Pictures came and broke your heart
E              F#m
Oh-a-oh-oh-oh

(verse 3)
A/C#                      D                           E
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
A/C#                      D                           E
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
A/C#                      D                           E
And you remember the jingles used to go
A/C#                      D                           E
(Oh-a-oh) You were the first one
A/C#                      D                           E
(Oh-a-oh) You were the last one

A           E/G#                 F#m
In my    mind and   in my car,
A           E/G#                 F#m
we can't rewind we've gone to far
