Far Away Like a Radio  Colin James

No one did this tab yet so I decided to do it by ear. It's your basic 12 bar blues
progression in G.
You can switch regular bar chords for 7 chords if you feel comfortable
(ex. G = G7)
 
 G ---3--- Or G7 ---3--- C ---5--- Or Cmaj7 ---3---
 ---3--- ---3--- ---5--- ---5---
 ---4--- ---4--- ---5--- ---4---
 ---5--- ---3--- ---5--- ---5---
 ---5--- ---5--- ---3--- ---3---
 ---3--- ---3--- ---x--- <-Muted-> ---x---
 D ---7--- Or Dmaj7 ---5---
 ---7--- ---7---
 ---7--- ---6---
 ---7--- ---7---
 ---5--- ---5---

[G]  
[G]All broke down, comin' in low
[C]Far away like a radi[G]o
Red lights flash
Static and snow
[D]Far away like a radi[G]o
I[G] was riding shotgun with the driver
The love is in the rounders
[C]Come along with me to LA
Me and my bride on a Greyhound back
She took a pi[D]ece out of me that I'll[G] never get back
[G]All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
[C]Far away like a radi[G]o
Red lights flash
Static and snow
[D]Far away like a radi[G]o
[G]Ghosts in a shot glass, and lonely all around
[C]Can't help but catch a buzz when you come into thi[G]s town
Darkness in a box man, you better send a scout
There's a [D]door to keep you in, but n[G]one to let you out
[G]All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
[C]Far away like a radi[G]o
Red lights flash
Static and snow
[D]Far away like a radi[G]o
[G]Head on my shoulder, mouth just catchin' flies
[C]A stranger out of stories has just talked himself[G] dry
Half of him will make it to LA by tomorrow
The rest[D] of him will have to make it, beg, steal or [G]borrow
[G]One end of town laughin' at the other
[C]They got ragin' home wreckers makin' we[G]lfare mothers
Street hosed down when the dawn breaks low
Shinin' [D]like a mirror so the shadows won't [G]show
[G]All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
[C]Far away like a radi[G]o
Red lights flash
Static and snow
[D]Far away like a radi[G]o
[C]All the happy endings [G]
[D]That I've heard about, [G]
[C]Stories left unwritten,[G]
[D] We'll have to figure it[G] out
