All the tabs I found for this song just didn't sound right, so I went through and
made one myself. Just the basic chords for the song. For it to sound pretty much
exactly like PotUSA, you need to play it with a capo on the first fret but I find
that that makes the 'oh-a-oh's a touch too high for me, so I play it without the capo.

Presidents Of The United States Of America

Capo 1st Fret
++Verse++
I heard you on my wireless back in fifty two
Lyin’ awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
oh-A-oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
oh-A-oh I met the children
oh-A-oh What can you sell them?
++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 too far
Oh - aoh – oh - oh – oh
Oh – aoh – oh - oh - oh
++Verse++
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember, the jingles used to go,
oh-A-oh You were the first one
oh-A-oh 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 too far
Oh - aoh – oh - oh – oh
Oh – aoh – oh - oh - oh Alright!
++Solo++
(slow bit)
++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 too far
Pictures came, broke your heart
So put all the blame on VCR
(No guitar) You are... the radio star [x2]
Video killed the radio star [x7]
Video killed that radio star, yes it did
