Listen To The Radio
Don Williams
I use a very simple picking pattern as follows:
C C/B Am Em ...
e|-------0|-------0|-------0|-------0|
B|-----1--|-----1--|-----1--|-----0--|
G|---0----|---0----|---2----|---0----|
D|--------|--------|--------|--------|
A|-3------|-2------|-0------|--------|
E|--------|--------|--------|-0------|
sounds lovely and is very easy to play. have fun!
I.
C C/B Am Em F G
I guess as a lover I have a ways to go
C C/B Am Em F G
When someone wants you they should just say it's so
C C/B Am Em F
But you'll understand if you'll take my hand
F Em/G C
Then we can dance real slow to something on the radio
Chorus:
C F G C F G
Listen to the radio, oh listen to the radio
C G
Let's spend the night together
Am Em F G C
Baby don't go, they sing it on the radio
II.
I try to find a way to explain to you
What's on my mind and not sound so plain to you
but you'll realise if you close your eyes
the feelings my words can't show
They're playing on the radio
Chorus:
C F G C F G
Listen to the radio, oh listen to the radio
C G
Let's spend the night together
Am Em F G C C/B Am Am/G F
Baby don't go, they sing it on the radio
Bridge:
F Em F C C/B
The words I'd say don't seem so sound as real
F Em F G [G/B G/D G]
The songs they play, that's how I really feel
Chorus
C F G C F G
Listen to the radio, oh listen to the radio
C G
Let's spend the night together
Am Em F G C
Baby don't go, they sing it on the radio
[Repeat and fade]
