A lot of folks don't like using a capo to get an "easier" key,
but this is the way Randy's rhythm guitar player plays it. 
Check out a couple of videos and look close.

Capo on second fret

D  D7  C  D  G

   NC            G       C
Oper-ator please connect me with Nineteen-Eighty Two
  D             D7           C      D      G     D
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do  	  
  G                               C                       Am
I sure do need to tell her that I thought the whole thing through
    D                   D7            C           D       G
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to.


CHORUS

         D                         G      C     G
They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind
     A7                            D
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
          G                             C            Am
It's that same old lost love story it's sad but it's true
      D               D7              C        D      G
There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two.
      D               D7              C        D      G    A

CHANGE TO: A

    A                   D  
Postman can you sell me a special kind of stamp
    E                E7   D                 A   E
One to send a letter from this crazy lonely man
     A                     D            Bm
Back into the wasted years of my living past
  E                 E7           D           E         A
I need to tell her, now I know - how long my love will last.


CHORUS

         E                         A      D     A
They say hindsight's 20-20 but I'm nearly goin' blind
     B7                            E
From starin' at her photograph and wishing she was mine
          A                             D            Bm
It's that same old lost love story it's sad but it's true
      E               E7              D        E      A
There was a time when she was mine in Nineteen-Eighty-Two.

TAG: 
E                     E7                D        E      A
Losing my mind, going back in time - to Nineteen-Eighty Two.
