version 2
Standard tuning - low to hi - EADGBE
Note: The lead guitar parts can be played several different ways on
various parts of the fretboard.
Chords:
**NB: I think it sounds better if you use barrel/power chords, so i will list them as well.**
C: X32010 or c: 335533 }Instead of just strumming the chords, try picking
F: X33211 or F: 133211 }a few notes (strings) in between. This is not
G: 320033 or G: 355433 }essential but i think it gives a nicer sound.
}Just pick what ever sounds nicest to you!!
Tab notations:
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
/ = slide up
\ = slide down

**Non-live version ending lyrics:
I wish I was the radio song, the one that you turned up,
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish,
I guess it never stops.
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaro's hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...

I wish I was the radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish, I wish...
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaro's hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
