Darius Rucker, "Radio"


(intro)
G  C  F  C, G  Cb-C  E-F  C


(verse)
G              C
Seventeen, the only way I had a car
   F                                      C
Is after I dropped my Momma off where she needed to go
G

  Four bald tires
         C
With the ceiling falling and the windows stuck
        F                                C
But the only thing I cared about was the radio
C
We turned it on, turned it up to 10
C
And everybody would jump on in


(Chorus)
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
You find something on the radio
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
All we needed was a radio


(instrumental)
G  Cb-C  E-F  C


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


(Chorus)
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
You find something on the radio
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
All we needed was a radio


(instrumental)
G  C  F  C  G


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

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


(Chorus)
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
You find something on the radio
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
All we needed was a radio

(sung simultaneously)
F-G             Cb-C            E-F
(radio ra-radio)  (radio ra-radio) (radio ra-radio)
               aww                all we needed,
             C                          G
                                        (radio ra-radio)
all we needed now was-a was-a was-a radio
Cb-C              E-F               C  G
