Tuned a half step down - all chords relative to standard tuning.
In the main progression (E A B A), the last A is a quick single-downstroke -
listen carefully to get the timing right. Otherwise, this is a very simple song.
[Intro]
E A B A
E A
E A B A
E A
[Verse]
E A B A
The VCR and the DVD - there wasn't none of that crap back in 1970
E
We didn't know about a World Wide Web
A B A
Was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid
E
Wanna get down in a cool way?
A B A
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
E
Big Bell Bottoms and groovy, long hair
A B
Just a-walking in style with a portable CD player - No!
[Chorus]
E
You would listen to the music on the AM Radio
A B A E A B A
Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM Radio
[Verse]
E
Flashback to '72
A B A
Another summer in the neighborhood, hanging out with nothing to do
E A
Sometimes we'd go driving around in my sister's Pinto
B A E
Cruising with the windows rolled down
A
We'd listen to the radio station - we were too damn poor
B A
to buy the 8-track tape
E
It wasn't then a good time to want to be inside
A B C#m
My momma want to watch that TV all goddamn night
F#
I'd be in bed with the radio on
A B
I would listen to it all night long just to hear my favorite song
E
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM Radio
[Chorus]
A B A E
Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM Radio
A B A E
I can still hear momma say, "Boy, turn that radio down!"
A
Aww, mom, not that show again!
B A E
I don't wanna watch that show
A B A
Can't we watch Good Times or Chico And The Man or something cool?
B
Turn it off!
[Verse]
E
Things changed back in '75
A B A
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
E
We got in trouble with the police man
A B A
We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van
E
I remember 1977
A B A
I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin
E
I got a guitar on Christmas day
A B C#m
I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come to Santa Monica and teach me to play
F#
Teach me to play
A
Teach me to play
C#m F#m
There isn't any place that I need to go
A B
There isn't anything that I need to know I did not learn from the radio
[Interlude]
E Em
[Outro]
N.C.
Yeah, when things get stupid and I just don't know where to find my Happy
B A E A
I listen to the music on the AM Radio
B A E A
You could hear the music on the AM Radio
B A E
You could hear the music on the AM Radio
E
I like Pop, I like Soul
A
I like Rock
B A E
But, I never liked Disco
