Lost Radio Chords

(ver. 1)
The Radiators
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of my favorite Rads songs.

Chords to the song:

|        |        |        |        |        |        |        |
D                                   G
|        |        |        |        |        |        |        |
D                                   A
|        |        |        |        |        |        |        |
D                 D/F#              G                 E7
|        |        |        |        |        |        |        |
Bm       A        G       A         D


Every [D]night I pass the graveyard
on the [G]way to my job.
Tonight the [D]voices came rushin' by
like [A]blood to the heart.
And the [D]old radio [D/F#], been [G]silent since seventy [E7]three (or two, depending 
the show).
Well its [Bm]burn and its [A]crackle and its [G]voices came [A]shinin' [D]through.

Chorus:
Oh it's that [D]lost radio[G]
When it [D]hits you, you just gotta [A]go.
Them [D]voices calling from [D/F#]thousand years [G]ago. [E7]
Callin' you [Bm]into the [A]night.
[G]Oh it's that [A]lost radio[D].

Them sweet silver voices rose up to the sky,
those old forgotten faces made my tears run wild.
They said child don't forget, they said live while you can.
So I cranked it on up and drove back to that hometown of mine.

Chorus

Oh these restless/crazy times, where's it all goin' I don't know...
(Listen for the rest of the lyrics. I feel like they sing it differently all the time.)


Crazy outro/solo:

Callin' you [Bm] into [A]night [G]
Callin' you [Bm] into [A]night [G]
Bm     A       G.........

until finally:
Bm     A       G       A        D


little caveats: hit the suspended fourth sometimes during A, and come down (3rd->2nd->1st)
and sometimes hit the passing notes between the root notes during the D->D/F#->G->E7 
and other stuff

go to archive.org. Listen to all the rads you want.
