<< Back to The Presidents of the United States of America Song List
Version 1All the tabs I found for this song just didn't sound right, so I went through and made one myself. Just the basic chords for the song. For it to sound pretty much exactly like PotUSA, you need to play it with a capo on the first fret but I find that that makes the 'oh-a-oh's a touch too high for me, so I play it without the capo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video Killed The Radio Star Presidents Of The United States Of America Tabbed by Darren Macneall ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 1st Fret ++Verse++ [C]I heard you [D] on my wireless [F] back in fifty [G] two [C]Lyin’ [D] awake intent on [F] tuning in on [G] you [Em]If I was [F] young it didn't [G] stop you coming through [Em]oh-A-[F]oh [G] [C] They took the [D] credit for your [F]second sympho[G]ny [C] Rewritten [D] by machine on [F] new technolo[G]gy [Em] And now I [F] understand the [G] supernova scene [Em]oh-A-[F]oh [G] I met the children [Em]oh-A-[F]oh [G] What can you sell them? ++Chorus++ [C]Video killed the [F] radio star [C]Video killed the [F] radio star [C]In my mind [G]and in my [Am]car, we [C] can't rewind [G] we've gone too [Am] far [G] Oh - aoh – oh - oh – [Am] oh [G] Oh – aoh – oh - oh - [Am] oh ++Verse++ [C]And now we [D] meet in an a[F]bandoned studi[G]o [C]You hear the [D] playback and it [F] seems so long ag[G]o [Em]And you re[F]member, the jin[G]gles used to go, [Em]oh-A-[F]oh [G] You were the first one [Em]oh-A-[F]oh [G] You were the last one ++Chorus++ [C]Video killed the [F] radio star [C]Video killed the [F] radio star [C]In my mind [G]and in my [Am]car, we [C] can't rewind [G] we've gone too [Am] far [G] Oh - aoh – oh - oh – [Am] oh [G] Oh – aoh – oh - oh - [Am] oh Alright! ++Solo++ [Em] [F] [G] [Am] [Em] [F] [G] [Em] [F] [G] [Am] [F] [C] [F] (slow bit) [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F] [G] ++Chorus++ [C]Video killed the [F] radio star [C]Video killed the [F] radio star [C]In my mind [G]and in my [Am]car, we [C] can't rewind [G] we've gone too [Am] far [C] Pictures came, [G] broke your [Am] heart So [C]put all the [G] blame on [F] VCR (No guitar) You are... the radio star [x2] [C]Video killed the [F] radio star [x7] Video killed that radio star, yes it did [G] [Am] [F] [Am] [F] [G]
