C/E          Dm/F           Gsus4         G 
 I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two  
C/E     Dm/F          Gsus4     G 
 Lying awake intent at tuning in on you  
C/E       Dm/F           Gsus4           G 
 If I was young it didn't stop you coming through

(Ow-A-ow-a)
[Versetto]
C/E            Dm/F            Gsus4       G 
 They took the credit for your second symphony  
C/E        Dm/F           Gsus4       G 
 Rewritten by machine and new technology 
C/E        Dm/F           Gsus4            G 
 And now I understand the problems you can see 
[Ponte]
C/E  Dm/F   Gsus        G 
(Ow-a-ow-a)   I met your children  
 C/E  Dm/F   Gsus          G 
(Ow-a-ow-a)   What did you tell them?

C/E         Dm/F        Gsus4         G 
 And now we meet in an abandoned studio  
C/E          Dm/F            Gsus4          G 
 We hear the playback and it seems so long ago  
C/E        Dm/F       Gsus4           G 
 And you remember the jingles used to go 
[Ponte]
 C/E  Dm/F   Gsus          G 
(Ow-a-ow-a)   You were the first one  
 C/E  Dm/F   Gsus          G 
(Ow-a-ow-a)   You were the last one
