D5 D5addC3
If you`re driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dsus4 Dsus2/G
Dial in the number who`s bound to love you
D(2) D(2) D D(2) D(2) D
Oh honey you turn me on, I`m a radio
D(2) D(2) D D(2) D(2) D
I`m a country station, I`m a little bit corny
G (Gsus2/C) (G)
I`m a wildwood flower waving for you
D
I`m a broadcasting tower waving for you
D5 A
And I`m sending you out this signal here
D5 A
I hope you can pick it up load and clear
D(2) D(2) D D(2) D(2) D
I know you don`t like weak women you get bored so quick
D(2) D(2) D D(2) D(2) D
And you don`t like strong women cos they`re hip to your tricks
G
It`s been dirty for dirty down the line
D
But you know I come when you whistle when you`re loving and kind
(chords as above verse)
But if you`ve got too many doubts
If there`s no good reception for me then tune me out
Cos honey who needs the static, it hurts the head
And you wind up cracking and the day goes dismal
>From Breakfast Barney to the sign-off prayer
What a sorry face you get to wear (stay on G)
I`m going to tell you again now if you`re still listening there
D5 D5addC
If you`re driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dsus4 Dsus2/G
Dial in the number who`s bound to love you
D5 D5addC
If you`re lying on the beach with the transistor going
Dsus4 Dsus2/G
Kick off the sandflies honey the love`s still flowing
D5 D5addC
If your head says forget it but your heart`s still smoking
Dsus4 Dsus2/G
Call me at the station the lines are open
D5 D5addC Dsus4 Dsus2/G
Doooo do do do (rpt and fade)

NOTE: I know this as a kind of combo of the For the Roses and Miles of
Aisles versions. On the Miles of Aisles version, the D(2) chord can be
heard as a kind of riff where you slide up from 000102 to 000304 real
quickly, play the open D for a second, slide up again and play the open D
again. Listen to the record if this doesn`t make sense.
