^{Key: :[Db] (w: Geoff Downes, Trevor Horn, Bruce Woolley)}

INTRO: [*R1] [Db open] [*R1] [Ab open]

VERSE 1:
[Db] I heard you [Ebm] on the wireless [F#] back in fifty [Ab] two
[Db] Lying a-[Ebm]-wake in bed then [F#] tuning in on [Ab] you
[Db] If I was [Ebm] young it didn't [F#] stop you coming [Ab] through
[Db] Oh [Ebm] oh [F#] [Ab]

VERSE 2:
[Db] They took the [Ebm] credit for your [F#] second symphon-[Ab]-y
[Db] Rewritten [Ebm] by machine and [F#] new technolo-[Ab]-gy
[Db] And now I [Ebm] understand the [F#] problems you can [Ab] see
[Db] Oh [Ebm] oh [F#] I met your [Ab] children,
[Db] Oh [Ebm] oh [F#] what did you [Ab] tell them?

CHORUS:
[Db] Video Killed The [F#] Radio Star,
[Db] Video Killed The [F#] Radio Star
[Db] In my [Ab] mind, and [F#] in my car,
We [Db] can't re-[Ab]-wind, we've [F#] gone too far
[Db] Pictures [Ab] came and [F#] broke your heart,
So [Db] put all the [Ab] blame on [F#] VCR

VERSE 3:
And [Db] now we [Ebm] meet in an aban-[F#]-doned studi-[Ab]-o
[Db] We hear the [Ebm] playback and it [F#] seems so long a-[Ab]-go
[Db] And you re-[Ebm]-member how the [F#] jingles used to [Ab] go
Oh oh You were the first one, Oh oh You were the last one
[Db] Oh [Ebm] oh [F#] you were the [Ab] first one
[Db] Oh [Ebm] oh [F#] you were the [Ab] last one

REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]

BRIDGE: [Slower]
You [Db] are [Ebm] [F#] a [Ab] Radio [Db] Star [Ebm] [F#] [Ab]
You [Db] are [Ebm] [F#] a [Ab] Radio [Db] Star [Ebm] [F#] [Ab]
[Db] Video Killed The [F#] Radio Star, [Db] Video Killed The [F#] Radio Star
[Db] Video Killed The [F#] Radio Star, [Db] Video Killed The [F#] Radio Star
