Alan Jackson - Thank God For The Radio lead guitar tab

Thank God for the Radio Alan Jackson

Key D. Drop-D tuning.

This is another one of AJ’s beauties, showing off Brent Mason’s picking.

It’s played on the bridge pickup with a little reverb. Riffs #1-4 are

played during the first chorus, and #5-8 during the second chorus. The

alternating chorus riffs are steel guitar.

On the wrong end of the highway

when the long night has no end

When there's no one there beside me

'til I hold you once again

Thank God for the radio [R1] when I'm on the road [R2]

When I'm far from home [R3] and feeling blue [R4]

Thank God for the radio playing all night long

Playing all the songs that mean so much to me and you.

There's a song that we first danced to

And there's a song they played the night we met

And there's a song we first made love to

That's a song that I'll never forget

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road

When I'm far from home and feeling blue

Thank God for the radio [R5] playing all night long [R6]

Playing all the songs [R7] that mean so much to me and you. [R8]

Playing all the songs that mean so much to me and you.

Thank God for the radio
