(intro) B5 E5 D5  E5

(verse 1)
A5                      D5                           E5
I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
A5                      D5                           E5
Lying a-wake  in bed then  tuning in on  you
A5                      D5                           E5
If I was  young it didn't  stop you coming  through
A5                      D5                           E5
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)
A5                         D5
Video killed the radio star
A5                         D5
Video killed the radio star
A5           E5                 F#5
Pictures came and broke your heart
E5              F#5
Oh-a-oh-oh-oh

(verse 3)
A5                      D5                           E5
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
A5                      D5                           E5
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
A5                      D5                           E5
And you remember the jingles used to go
A5                      D5                           E5
(Oh-a-oh) You were the first one
A5                      D5                           E5
(Oh-a-oh) You were the last one

A5           E5                 F#5
In my    mind and   in my car,
A5           E5                 F#5
we can't rewind we've gone to far
