G
G
All broke down, comin' in low
C G
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
D G
Far away like a radio
G
I was riding shotgun with the driver
The love is in the rounders
C
Come along with me to LA
Me and my bride on a Greyhound back
D G
She took a piece out of me that I'll never get back
G
All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
C G
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
D G
Far away like a radio
G
Ghosts in a shot glass, and lonely all around
C G
Can't help but catch a buzz when you come into this town
Darkness in a box man, you better send a scout
D G
There's a door to keep you in, but none to let you out
G
All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
C G
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
D G
Far away like a radio
G
Head on my shoulder, mouth just catchin' flies
C G
A stranger out of stories has just talked himself dry
Half of him will make it to LA by tomorrow
D G
The rest of him will have to make it, beg, steal or borrow
G
One end of town laughin' at the other
C G
They got ragin' home wreckers makin' welfare mothers
Street hosed down when the dawn breaks low
D G
Shinin' like a mirror so the shadows won't show
G
All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
C G
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
D G
Far away like a radio
C G
All the happy endings
D G
That I've heard about,
C G
Stories left unwritten,
D G
We'll have to figure it out
Guitar solo (Improvise with G minor/Bb Major pentatonic AND/OR D minor/F major pentatonic)
