Chords
Tuned a half step down - all chords relative to standard tuning.
In the main progression (E A B A), the last A is a quick single-downstroke -
listen carefully to get the timing right. Otherwise, this is a very simple song.

[Verse]
E A B A The VCR and the DVD - there wasn't none of that crap back in 1970 E We didn't know about a World Wide Web A B A Was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid E Wanna get down in a cool way? A B A Picture yourself on a beautiful day E Big Bell Bottoms and groovy, long hair A B Just a-walking in style with a portable CD player - No!
[Chorus]
E You would listen to the music on the AM Radio A B A E A B A Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM Radio
[Verse]
E Flashback to '72 A B A Another summer in the neighborhood, hanging out with nothing to do E A Sometimes we'd go driving around in my sister's Pinto B A E Cruising with the windows rolled down A We'd listen to the radio station - we were too damn poor B A to buy the 8-track tape E It wasn't then a good time to want to be inside A B C#m My momma want to watch that TV all goddamn night F# I'd be in bed with the radio on A B I would listen to it all night long just to hear my favorite song E You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM Radio
[Chorus]
A B A E Yeah, you could hear the music on the AM Radio A B A E I can still hear momma say, "Boy, turn that radio down!" A Aww, mom, not that show again! B A E I don't wanna watch that show A B A Can't we watch Good Times or Chico And The Man or something cool? B Turn it off!
[Verse]
E Things changed back in '75 A B A We were all growing up on the in and the outside E We got in trouble with the police man A B A We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van E I remember 1977 A B A I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin E I got a guitar on Christmas day A B C#m I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come to Santa Monica and teach me to play F# Teach me to play A Teach me to play C#m F#m There isn't any place that I need to go A B There isn't anything that I need to know I did not learn from the radio
[Interlude]

Yeah, when things get stupid and I just don't know where to find my Happy
B A E A I listen to the music on the AM Radio B A E A You could hear the music on the AM Radio B A E You could hear the music on the AM Radio E I like Pop, I like Soul A I like Rock B A E But, I never liked Disco
