[Intro]
| E B E | B7     | E B E | B7 |

[Verse 1]
          E                                               B
I was tuning in the shine on the light night dial
           A                                      E
Doing anything my radio advised.
                                      B
With every one of those late night stations
              A                                               C#m
Playing songs, bringing tears to my eyes.
          A                                      B7
I was seriously thinking about hiding the receiver
              A/C#                                    B/D#
When the switch broke 'cause it's old.
A                                                  B
They're saying things that I can hardly believe.
                    B                                               E
They really think we're getting out of control.

[Chorus]
E                   C#m
Radio is the sound salvation.
               B
Radio is cleaning up the nation.
         A                      E                  B            E
They say you better listen to the voice of reason.
                       A                    E                           B                     C#m
But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason.
                    B                                   C#m
So you had better do as you are told.
                   B                         E
You better listen to the radio.

[Interlude]
| E B E | B7    | E B E | B7 |

[Bridge]
Am                         E
I want to bite the hand that feeds me.
Am                         E
I want to bite that hand so badly.
C#m                                                    B
I want to make them wish they'd never seen me.

[Verse 2]
             E                                              B
Some of my friends sit around every evening
         A                                          E
And they worry about the times ahead.
                                          B
But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference
               A                                              C#m
And the promise of an early bed.
          A
You better shut up or get cut up;
          B7
They don't wanna hear about it.
           A/C#                               B/D#
It's only inches on the reel-to-reel.
           A                                     B
And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools
                B                                 E
Trying to anaesthetize the way that you feel.

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Outro]

                  E      B E B
Wonderful radio
                   E      B E B
Marvellous radio
                  E      B E B
Wonderful radio
            E       B E B
Radio, radio.
            E       B E B
Radio, radio.
