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:
D G6 Asus4/A A/Asus4/A
They took the credit for your second symphony
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 A
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
D A G
Pictures came and broke your heart
A Bm
(Oh-a-oh-oh-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 A G
In my mind and in my car, we
Can't re-wind we've gone to far
A Bm
(Oh-a-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-a-oh-oh-oh)

In my mind and in my car, we

Put the blame on VTR
You are the radio star

Subject: TAB: Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles
I just transcribed this during a blizzard here in Philadelphia so did not
Realize that there was already a version of this at OLGA. Mine is quite
Different in that it is arranged more for a classical or fingerstyle guitar
(my preference). It works best on classical guitar, but it's not too hard
So I'm sure you can adapt it to steel-string OK. There's a few stretches (5
Frets), that's about it. It may be fun for a duet, one on electric guitar
Playing the other transcription, and one on acoustic playing my transcription.
Of course, if you want to be authentic, play it on a guitar synth
With a nice cheezy brass & string patch! If you play
Along with a recording of the song (Texts of songs ), you'll have to tune down your
Strings a half-step (or capo on the 11th fret if your guitar can
Handle it!)
'The Buggles' were Geoff Downes and Trevor Horn, and eventually went on
To form Yes (:-). Later on Geoff ended up starting Asia (another great
80's new wave band ;-) and Trevor Horn became a hot-shot London producer
(Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Seal, et al).
PS: This was the first video ever shown on MTV circa 1980, and it's scary
How true this song (Texts of songs ) turned out!
Feedback is appreciated. My Steve Howe transcriptions aren't exactly
Exciting people as I thought, maybe I should start doing some Trevor Rabin
Transcriptions next! ;-)
