Tom: E
E A E | E B E
[Verse 1]
E A E
I had a six-transistor when I was a kid
B E
Under my pillow I kept it hid
E A E
When the lights went out and no one could see
B E
Over the airwaves the world came to me
E A E | E B E
[Verse 2]
A E
I'd go through the stations 'til I found a game
B E
I knew how they played by the sounds of their names
E A E
The sluggers hit homers, those pitchers threw smoke
B E
And I watched it all on my radio
[Chorus 1]
A E B A
At the crack of the bat, I knew how far it'd go
E B A
And I watched it all on my radio
E B E
I watched it all on my radio
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
E A E
When the ball game was over, the wrap-up complete
B E
I'd search through the static 'til I found a beat
E A E
The Beatles and Creedence, the Stones and the Byrds
B E
You should have seen all the groups that I heard
[Verse 4]
E A E
And on Saturday night, when the skies were all clear
B E
A station from Nashville sometimes would appear
E A E
The steel guitars and soft Southern twang
B E
The stars of the Grand Ole Opry would sing
[Chorus 2]
A E B A
And I had a seat on the very front row
E B A
And I watched it all on my radio
E B E
I watched it all on my radio
[Bridge]
A E
And right about midnight, some preacher came on
B E
To tell me what's right, to tell me what's wrong
A E
And there was that test at the sound of the beep
E B A
It was only a test, the voice would repeat
E B A
And the National Anthem would sing me to sleep
[Repeat Verse 1]
E A E
I had a six-transistor when I was a kid
B E
Under my pillow I kept it hid
E A E
When the lights went out and no one could see
B E
Over the airwaves the world came to me
[Repeat Chorus 2]
A E B A
And I had a seat on the very front row
E B A
And I watched it all on my radio
E B E
I watched it all on my radio
