[Verse 1]
               C                  F
I like to listen to music
                 C               F
I like the way that it sounds
F  G   Am                            C F
On the radio
                C                   F
I like to sit in a silent place
          C                        F
When no one's around
        C                         C F
And listen inside it
                     C              F
Inside the silence is a melody
           C                     C F
Voices singing harmony
                        Am          F
I close my eyes and listen carefully
F                         G
The silence starts to get loud

FEATURED: What you need to know as a Pianist.


[Chorus]
                   C           Em F
It's like your favorite station
                  C              C F
Playing your favorite song
               F  G   Am            F
Just like they do on the radio
              G
Like they do on the radio

[Verse 2]
                    C              F
Inside the silence is a symphony
                   C               F
Every note there is in every key
                       Am           F
The music tells me how it wants to be
                   C               F
I help it write itself down
                   G
I hear the way that would sound

FEATURED: All about Scales you need to know asap.

[Chorus]
           C
It's like your favorite
                     C#         Fm F#
It's like your favorite station
                   C#           C# F#
Playing your favorite song
               F# G#  A#m    F# C# F#
Just like they do on the radio
          F# G#  A#m
Like they do on the radio
But the radio isn't on
F# G#  A#m
On the radio

How to play Radio Song: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Radio Song by Joe Walsh on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Radio Song by Joe Walsh is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 10 chords in all: C, F, G, Am, Em, C#, Fm, F#, G# and A#m.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – C – F – G (IV – I – IV – V in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F, C#, Fm, F# and G# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
