G G Am Am C C D D
I heard you on my wireless back in fifty two
G G Am Am C C D D
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
G G Em Em D D
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
G G C C D D
oh-a-oh

G G Am Am C C D D
They took the credit for your second symphony
G G Am Am C C D D
Rewritten by machine on new technology
G G Em Em D D
And now I understand the supernova scene
G G C C D D
oh-a-oh
I met the children
G G C C D D
oh-a-oh
What can you sell them?

And now we meet in an abandoned studio
G G Am Am C C D D
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
G G Em Em D D
And you remember,the jingles used to go,

G G C C D D
oh-a-oh
You were the first one
G G C C D D
oh-a-oh
You were the last one

Pictures came,broke your heart
G G D D C C
So put all the blame on VCR
