On The Radio Donna Summer
Note: I prefer to play this slow throughout like Hypnogajas interpretation. Using mostly
barre chords sounds better IMHO.
[Intro]
Em7 A11 Dmaj9 (2X)
[Verse 1]
Em7 A11 Dmaj9
Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio
Em7 A11 Dmaj9
and they told the world just how you felt
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
it must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
Am7 D
they never said your name but I knew just who they meant.
[Verse 2]
Em7 A11 Dmaj9
Oh, I was so surprised and shocked, and I wonder too
Ebdim Em7 A11 Dmaj9
if by chance you heard it for yourself
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
I never told a soul just how I've been feeling over you
Am7 D
but they said it really loud they said it on the air

Em7 A11 Dmaj9
Don't it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song
Em7 A11 Dmaj9
things are not the same since we broke up last June
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
the only thing that I wanna hear is that you love me still
Am7 D
and that you think you'll be comin' home real soon whoa
[Verse 4]
Em7 A11 Dmaj9
oh yeah it kind of made me feel proud when I heard him say
Ebdim Em7 A11 Dmaj9

and now in my heart I know I can say what I really feel
