Golden Age Of Radio by Josh Ritter
Golden Age Of Radio
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
Em C
Picture they took of you in your cowboy hat
G D
Makes you look like you were one of the boys
Em
Out on a saturday night, meanwhile
C
On the outside of the dance hall
G D
I'm a joke that you'd prob'ly enjoy
Em C
On the outside of Memphis all the buildings look big
G D
And the white picket fences all dare to charge
Em
Around the lawn and hold their heads up high
C
When my head-lights find them out
G D
They'll be the first to put their hands in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
With my radio on
D G C
Oh singing a country song
C G/B C G/B Em
Soft and low
[Verse 2]
Em C
So living on the edge of the city limit line
G D
This is where the boundary finally ends
Em
And I swear that we're the last living souls
C
In a populated ghost town
G D
All the billboards are our best friends
Em C
Oh which way did our last chance go
G D
And can we get out if we go right now?
Em C
Cause it seems that with the malls and the mega-church stadiums
G D
We would get out if we knew just how
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
With the radio on
D G C
Oh singing a country song
C G/B C G/B
Soft and low
[Chorus]
C B7 G C G B7
Ooh and I've got a worried mind I know
B7 Am
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
B7 Am
On the Grand Ol' Opry Show
Em C G/B x6
Em
[Verse 3]
Em C
Standing in line to get my self-help book signed off
G D
On by the reverand who shouts to the converted
Em C
Have mercy on this boy, he did it all by the book,
G D
But still kind of has his doubts
Em C
Yeah look pretty good in that jonquil dress
G D
But your smile is a wooden nickle's pride and I know that
Em C
It ain't worth much, it feels good to touch
G D
And I think that I could dance if I tried
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D
With the radio on
D G C
Oh singing a country song
C G/B C G/B
Soft and low
[Chorus]
C B7 G C G B7
Oh and I've got a worried mind I know
B7 Am
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
B7 Am
On the Grand Ol' Opry Show

Strum Em at the end.
Picture they took of you in your cowboy hat
Makes you look like you are one of the boys
Out on a Saturday night, meanwhile on the outskirts of the dance hall
I'm a joke that you'd probably enjoy
On the outside of Memphis all the building look big
And the white picket fences all dare to charge around the lawn
And hold their heads up high when my headlights find them out
They'll be the first to put their hands in the air with my radio on
Singing a country song soft and low
Oh when I've got a worried mind I know
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
On the Grand Old Opry Show
Living on the edge of the city limit line
This is where the boundary finally ends
And I swear that we're the last living souls in a populated ghost town
All the billboards are our best friends
Which way did our last chance go and can we
Get out if we go right now?
It seems that with the malls and the mega-church stadiums
We would get out if we knew just how with the radio on
Standing in line to get my self-help book signed off
On by the reverend who shouts to the converted
Have mercy on this boy he did it all by the book
But still kind of has his doubts
Oh you look pretty good in that jonquil dress
But your smile is a wooden nickel's pride
and I know that it ain't worth much but I feels good to touch
And I think that I could dance if I tried with your radio on
Oh when I've got a worried mind I know
I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline
On the Grand Old Opry Show
