Intro:
Hello Honey, it's me
What did you think when you heard me back on the radio?
What did the kids say when they knew it was their long lost daddy-o?
Em C
Remember how we listened to the radio
D G
And I said `That's the place for me'
E C D Am
And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me?
G C
We were two kids and I was was into AM rock
D Em
But I just had to run around
Fmaj7 C
It's been eight years since I left you babe
D Am
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down
CHORUS
G D Em Fmaj7
I am the morning DJ on W * O * L * D
C G D/F# Am7
Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be
G D Em Fmaj7
The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen
C G D/F# Em7
Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen
VERSE CHORDS
The drinking I did on my last big gig made my voice go low
They said that they liked the younger sound when they let me go
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to do me a late night talk show
Now I worked my way back home again, via Boise, Idhao
That's how this business goes
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Em D
I've been making extra money playing high school sock hops
Fmaj7 C
I'm a big time guest MC
D
You should hear me talking to the little children
B
And listen what they say to me
Em D
Got a spot on the top of my head, begging for a new toupee
Fmaj7 C
And a tire on my gut from sitting on my
D Em
But they're never gonna go away
Em D
Sometimes I get this crazy dream
Fmaj7 C
That I just drive off in my car
Em D B
But you can travel on ten thousand miles and still say where you are
Em D
I've been thinking that I should quit disk jockeying
Fmaj7 C
And start that record store
C D Fmaj7 Em
Maybe I could settle down if you'ld take me back once more
REPEAT INTRO
OK Honey, I see
I guess he's better than me
Sure, Old Girl, I understand
You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man
Em7
W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L, W*O*L, W*O*L*D*D*D
CHORUS CHORDS
I am the morning DJ on K*H*J
Playing all the hits for you Playing them night and day
The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen
I am the morning DJ on W*O*L*D
