I've never found a tab I liked for this song, so I found some dodgy piano music
and spent a few hours working off it to come up with this:
CAPO 1
Intro:
Verse:
I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
(Oh-a-a-a oh)
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
And now I understand the problems you can see
Pre Chorus:
I met your children
What did you tell them?
Chorus:
Video killed the radio star
Pictures came and broke your heart
(Oh-a-a-a oh)
Verse
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember the jingles used to go
(Oh-a oh)
Pre-Chorus
You were the first one
You were the last one
Chorus
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
(Oh-a-aho oh)
(Oh-a-aho oh)

Chorus:
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR
Interlude:
You a-re a radio st-a-r
You a-re a radio st-a-r
Chorus
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
