"Radio" (R. Sexsmith)
Use a capo on the second fret.
[Intro]: G7
G7
The clowns are running the circus/the show is run of the mill.
C
They’ve picked all the berries that grew on Blueberry Hill.
G7
The shameless and the appalling/have sunk things to a new low,
C
What has become of the world that we used to know?
[Chorus]:
F G C F G C
Did I dream it? What I mean is, I could’ve swore it had a soul,
F G Am G7
Mhmm I could hear it, sat right near it/ Back when my whole world..
C
…was the radio
G7
Time was when people could move you/with just a voice and a song.
C
I wish all those hacks would go back to where they belong
G7
The daydream had to make way for/the nightmare that was to be,
C
Where grace and beauty are hung and buried at sea.
[Chorus]:
F G C F G C
Did I dream it? What I mean is, I could’ve swore it had a soul,
F G Am G7
Mhmm I could hear it, sat right near it/ Back when my whole world …
C
…was the radio
[Middle 8]:
Em Am7
And even though the writing’s on the wall (wall)
Em Am7
It's through rose-coloured glasses I recall (recall)
D C B A
That golden age of the ordinary day...
