The intro goes like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

-2-4-4---4--2-4-4---4--2-4-4---4--2-4-4\-----------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------2--0-2-2----2--0-2-2---2----

-0-2-2----------0-2-0-2-3---------------------2-3--------------------

--------------------------2/4\---------------------------------------

Ok.. then be quiet while Ian does his lyrics, and after the verses

do something about the same as above. Repeat this a few times, and

then:

-------------------------------------------

--5^---5----5^-5--5^-5--5--3--3--0-3-0-3-0-

------------------------------------------- Repeat Once...

-------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------

then:

---------------------------

--3-0-3-0-3-0-3-0-3-5-5^-3- Reapeat 3 times (alter the last one

--------------------------- or two slightly)

---------------------------

---------------------------

---------------------------

"/" and "\" are slides, "^" is a bend.

In some if the verses and at the end there are some chords, so you

should beat out some power chords when you play it, but I'm not

sure what they are right now... just listen to it, they are probably

based in the notes of these riffs... There might be an easier

position to play this, but that's how I do it, anyway. let us know

if any of it is incorrect...

Radio -- live transmission -- radio

live transmission

Listen to the silence, let it ring on

Eyes dark, relentless, frightened of the sun

We would have a fine time living in the night

Left a blind destruction,

Waiting for our sign

We would go on as though nothing was wrong

Hide from these days to remain all alone

Staying in the same place,

just staring at the tide

Touching from a distance, further all the time

Dance, dance, dance, dance,

dance to the radio (4)

Well I could call out

when the going gets tough

The things we've learned

are no longer enough

No language, just sound

is all we need know

To synchronise love to the beat

of the show

And we could dance -- dance, dance,

dance, dance, to the radio (4)
