Intro: G C G D Em C G D G 
G                      C 
We used to sit in the corner 

 G                 D 
Listening to The Joker 

           Em                  C 
They were playing it over and over 

       G            D     G   
Every night at the Radio Bar  

Hey Wendy what are you thinking? 
Hey Jason you know what I'm drinking 
We were sinking lower and lower 
Every night at the Radio Bar  

Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Every night at the Radio Bar 

We got some big things brewing 
What does it look like we're doing? 
We'll get to 'em sooner or later 
Not tonight at the Radio Bar 
But if you're ready, willing and able 
We can pass out here on a table 
Beats sitting home watching cable 
Get some rest at the Radio Bar  

Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh 
Get some rest at the Radio Bar  

D     
I've got to check my messages 

G             C   D 
Who's got a dime? 

D 
At four they lock all the doors 

             Em 
And there's nowhere to go 

     C      D            G C G  
And we got nothing but time  

D Em C G D G 

G C G D Em C G D G 

(Modulate!) 

 A                         D 
They put our song in the jukebox 

 A                      E 
It was a hit with the drunk jocks 

 F#m                     D 
Even the guys with the dreadlocks 

       A           E     A 
Sang along at the Radio Bar  

A                      D 
One night there was a girl there 

 A                             E 
For some reason she pulled up her chair 

 F#m                       D   
She said “Why don't we go some-where?” 

      A              E 
So I passed her her coat 

          F#m          D 
That was all that she wrote 

          A          E     A 
That was it for the Radio Bar  




  A       D 
Oh oh oh oh 

  A       E 
Oh oh oh oh 

  F#m      D 
Oh oh oh oh 

         A          E      A 
That was it for the Radio Bar
