Verse 1: (piano arranged for guitar)
Below is roughly what the piano is playing. It's a lot easier to play
on a piano than a guitar. Stick with the basic chords. The timing has
been stretched to fit the lyrics.

I heard you on the wireless back in fifty two
Lying a-wake in bed then tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh - ah - oh.
Verse 2:
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/buggles/video_killed_the_radio_star_crd.html )
[D]They took the [G6]credit for your [Asus4/A]second sympho[A/Asus4/A]ny
Rewritten by machine and new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
(Oh-a-oh) I met your children
(Oh-a-oh) What did you tell them ?
Chorus:
[D]Video killed the [A]radio star
Video killed the radio star
[D]Pictures [A]came and [G]broke your heart
[A](Oh-A-oh-oh-[Bm]oh)
Verse 3:
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
(Oh-a-oh) You were the first one
(Oh-a-oh) You were the last one
(chorus)
[D]In my [A]mind and [G]in my car, we
can't re-wind we've gone to far
[A](Oh-A-oh-oh-[Bm]oh)
(Oh-A-oh-oh-oh)

Put the blame on VTR
You are the radio star
