The (A)first time I kissed (Bm)Julie Ann in a (G)Chevy Van, it was (D)my old mans
(A) It was (Bm)George Strait's Baby Blue (G)
And when (A)she move back to (Bm)San Jose, it was (G) Missing You and (D)Purple Rain
(A) That I leaned (Bm)on to get me (G) through
(Bm) It's been the (A)soundtrack to my (G)life since I re-(D)member
(Em)My memories are (Bm)all in stereo (G)

American radi-(D)o, keeps me (A)singin' along, (Bm)livin' my life to the (A)words of the songs
Of (G)lovers, dreamers and (F#m)hopeless believers, (A)like me
No matter where I (D)go, I can (A)always find an (Bm)old friend somewhere (A)there all the time
(G) To (F#m)sing me right back (A)home on American radio

Inst.:  | (D)  | (A)  | (Bm) (A) (G) | (G) ---

All (A)I have to do is (Bm)hear two notes, or (G)give me three steps and a (D)Mac Top boat
(A)My Grandad in (Bm)1989 (G)
And all (A)I need to hear are the (Bm)first few words of (G)Jumpin' Jack Flash or (D)even Free Bird
(A) And I'm (Bm)ready for a good time (G)

American radi-(D)o, keeps me (A)singin' along, (Bm)livin' my life to the (A)words of the songs
Of (G)lovers, dreamers and (F#m)hopeless believers, (A)like me
No matter where I (D)go I can (A)always find an (Bm)old friend somewhere (A)there all the time
(G) To (F#m)sing me right back (A)home on American radio

Inst.:  | (D)  | (A)  | (Bm) (A) (G) | (G)  |  x 2

It was (Em)Randy Travis on the beach (F#m) and Barry White in that back seat
The (G)ups and downs, my highs and lows, (A) I've lived them all in stereo

American radio, (D) well, I'm still (A)singin' along, (Bm)makin' up half of the (A)words to the songs
Of (G)lovers and (A)dreamers and (F#m)hopeless believers (A)like me
No matter where I (D)go I can (A)always find an (Bm)old friend somewhere (G)there all the time
(G) To (F#m)sing me right back (A)home (sing me home)

(G) Come on (F#m)sing me right back (A)home on American radio | (D) (A) | (Bm) (A) (G) --
