CAPO: 3rd Fret



INTRO: G  D  C (2x)

N.C. G       C      D
I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain
      G        C        D
Well, these Delta towns wear satin gowns on a high-beamed frame
    G       C         D
Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio
       G         C         D
Where would I be, in times like these, without the songs Loretta wrote?

CHORUS:
        C       G              D
'Cause when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
      C       G              D
And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
    G C         D

     G            C        D
I left a handsome, two-stepping, good ole boy in Tennessee
     G             C                 D
Now, he's sitting on the sofa, he's looking for his supper, wondering what's become of me
      G         C          D
I've got a double-0-eighteen Martin guitar in the back seat of the car
     G       C       D
And I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on


CHORUS:
        C       G              D
'Cause when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
      C       G              D
And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
    G C         D

INSTRUMENTAL: G  C  D  (4x)


     G        C       D
There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky
      G           C            D
I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear silver wings and then, away Merle Haggard flies
   G            C          D
That good ole boy will find a band of gold on the stereo
       G              C
Hey, then my mama's gonna call and say, "Where's she gone?"
      D
He'll say, "Down the road with the radio on."


CHORUS:
    C       G              D
When you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
      C       G              D
And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
    G C         D

    G C         D
The radio____, listen to the radio
    G C         D

The radio____, listen to the radio
