Capo 3
[Intro]
G C G D (x2)
[Verse]
G C D I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain G C D These Delta towns wear satin gowns and the high-beam frame G C D Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio G C D Where would I be at times like these without the songs Loretta wrote?
[Chorus]
C G D 'Cause when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio C G D When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o
[Verse]
G C D I left a handsome two-steppin' good ole' boy in Tennessee G C D Now he's sittin' on the sofa he's lookin' for his supper wond'rin' what's become of me G C D I got a 00-18 Martin guitar in the back seat of the car G C D Hey I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on
[Chorus]
C G D 'Cause when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio C G D When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D It's the radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o
[Instrumental]
G C D (x4)
[Verse]
G C D There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky G C D I smell the Ponchatrain I hear Silver Wings and then away Merle Haggard flies G C D That good old boy will find a band of gold on the stereo G C D Hey then my mama's gonna call say where's she gone, he'll say down the road with the radio on
[Chorus]
C G D And when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio C G D And when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o, no listen to the radio G C D G C D The radio - o, and it's down the road you go
[Outro]
G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio G C D The radio - o, listen to the radio (Repeat and Fade)
