Biography:
State Radio is an alternative rock group formed in Sherborn, Massachusetts, United States in 2002. They consist of former Dispatch vocalist Chad Stokes Urmston (vocals, guitar), Chuck Fay (bass) and Mike “Mad Dog” Najarian (drums),
For generations of great American songwriters, the music and the message have been inextricably linked. Word and deed are one in the same, and the only thing more moving than the rousing call to action is the evocative melody that transports the words like a shell casing.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my 1st tab, so it might not be perfect. It sounds pretty good.
It sounds better if you play it with barre chords.
In the verse, they play the 5th (C and Dm) or 6th (G and F) string 5 times, but you can
play the whole chord.
On the choir they play the bottom 4 strings in a reggae rythm.
Intro:
C,G,Dm,F (x2)
C
Manny don't need no comforting
G Dm
He don't ask of the world to bring him up
F
Ain't gonna see him waitin' on waitin' on Waitin' on the day
C
Got him a chair in '73
G
It was his only option
Dm
So manny agreed
F
Same chair he has today
Since they threw the cane away
C
Manny wasn't doing nothing
G
He just doing his own thing
Dm
You know it getting pretty cold out
F
By the jub jub swing
C
Oh this friend today
G
Right me up (Right me up)
Dm
Oh this friend today
F
Right me up
F...(let ring)
I'm not so weak
(it just keeps going the same for the rest of the song)
Manny gonna go where the rabble go
He gonna roll down the world
And he bring me up
Ain't going to see him
Giving into the others way
Cause they may beat us in search
But our fall is unstained
You know he says it won't be long
Till we are up again
Having another swing
And manny wasn't doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
Yah know it gettin' pretty cold
But he the one who bring
Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I'm not so weak
'cause the bottles not empty
'cause your voices are all there
My life will fight in my body for air
'cause the bottle's not empty
'cause your voices are all there
My life will fight in my body for air
Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I'm not so weak
Manny we gonna get that a.m. dial just right
I'll hold that hanger up
As long as the sox put up a fight
