Golden Age Of Radio

Capo 3

Verse 1

Em                               C
Picture they took of you in your cowboy hat
          G                             D
Makes you look like you were one of the boys
                  Em
Out on a saturday night, meanwhile
       C
On the outside of the dance hall
      G                              D
I'm a joke that you'd prob'ly enjoy
       Em                         C
On the outside of Memphis all the buildings look big
        G                       D
And the white picket fences all dare to charge
                    Em
Around the lawn and hold their heads up high
        C
When my head-lights find them out
               G                                 D
They'll be the first to put their hands in the air

Pre-Chorus

               Am    D
With my radio on
D            G       C
Oh singing a country song
             C G/B C G/B Em
Soft and low

Verse 2

   Em                        C
So living on the edge of the city limit line
        G                          D
This is where the boundary finally ends
                           Em
And I swear that we're the last living souls
     C
In a populated ghost town
        G                       D
All the billboards are our best friends
   Em                       C
Oh which way did our last chance go
           G                      D
And can we get out if we go right now?
                             Em                        C
Cause it seems that with the malls and the mega-church stadiums
         G                       D
We would get out if we knew just how

Pre-Chorus

               Am    D
With the radio on
   D         G       C
Oh singing a country song
             C G/B C G/B
Soft and low

Chorus

C            B7            G    C  G    B7
Ooh and I've got a worried mind I  know
B7                  Am
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
B7               Am
On the Grand Ol' Opry Show
Em  C G/B x6
Em

Verse 3

Em                         C
Standing in line to get my self-help book signed off
G                      D
On by the reverand who shouts to the converted
     Em                            C
Have mercy on this boy, he did it all by the book,
     G                    D
But still kind of has his doubts
     Em                       C
Yeah look pretty good in that jonquil dress
          G                         D
But your smile is a wooden nickle's pride and I know that
   Em                    C
It ain't worth much, it feels good to touch
      G                             D
And I think that I could dance if I tried

Pre-Chorus

               Am    D
With the radio on
   D         G       C
Oh singing a country song
             C G/B C G/B
Soft and low

Chorus

C           B7            G    C  G     B7
Oh and I've got a worried mind I  know
B7                    Am
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
B7               Am
