Darius Rucker, "Radio"


(intro)
G+G C majorC FF C, G+G Cb-C E-F C majorC


(verse)
G+G       C majorC
Seventeen, the only way I had a car
  FF                   C majorC
Is after I dropped my Momma off where she needed to go
G+G
 Four bald tires
     C majorC
With the ceiling falling and the windows stuck
    FF                C majorC
But the only thing I cared about was the radio
C majorC
We turned it on, turned it up to 10
C majorC
And everybody would jump on in

(Chorus)
G+G
Ridin down the highway
Cb-C
  Who wants to be the DJ
E-F
 I’ll find a spot on the side of the road
C majorC
You find something on the radio
G+G
Like a real, real good song
  Cb-C
We'll know it when it comes on
   E-F
Didn't have no money no place to go
C majorC
All we needed was a radio


(instrumental)
G+G Cb-C E-F C majorC

(verse)
 G+G
I grabbed my girl
  C majorC
We looked for somewhere to watch the stars
 FF                C majorC
A augmentedA perfect place to put it park and take it slow
  G+G
She sang along
  C majorC
To even the ones that she barely knew
   FF
Still sounded good, a little louder too
    C majorC
But we didn’t care
C majorC
I looked at her, she looked at me
C majorC
I’ll never forget that melody


(Chorus)
G+G
Ridin down the highway
Cb-C
  Who wants to be the DJ
E-F
 I’ll find a spot on the side of the road
C majorC
You find something on the radio
G+G
Like a real, real good song
  Cb-C
We'll know it when it comes on
   E-F
Didn't have no money no place to go
C majorC
All we needed was a radio


(instrumental)
G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G


(no chord)
Hey ya’ll be quiet, that’s my favorite song

Hey man, turn it up loud
C majorC
Come on, come on, come on


(Chorus)
G+G
Ridin down the highway
Cb-C
  Who wants to be the DJ
E-F
 I’ll find a spot on the side of the road
C majorC
You find something on the radio
G+G
Like a real, real good song
   Cb-C
We'll know it when it comes on
   E-F
Didn't have no money no place to go
C majorC
All we needed was a radio
