{D   Em G } {D   C Am } {G   C Am } {G   Em G }    

{D   Em G } {D   C Am }     Up in space radio waves
{G   C Am } {G   Em G }    dance and race full of grace,
{D   Em G } {D   C Am }     down to you, broadcastin' through
{G   C Am } {G   Em  }       your radio to give you a view.

Chorus:
{B7} {C G Em   G Em }   Tune it in and turn on.
{B7} {C G Em   G Em }   Check it out. There's no doubt
{G   C Am } {G   Em  }    wireless receptors changed the (3rd x=his) world.

{D   Em G } {D   C Am } {G   C Am } {G   Em G }        

{D   Em G } {D   C Am }     There's a face gave us a taste.
{G   C Am } {G   Em G }     Helped shape the waves in the radio race.
{D   Em G } {D   C Am }     An inventor's thirst. He came through first.
{G   C Am } {G   Em  }       The world rehearsed the universe.

{Chorus}

D

{D} {G}     Edwin Armstrong built your radio.
{D} {G}     Growin' all along the strain that took its toll.
{D} {Em}  Edwin Armstrong jumped from the 13th floor
{G}            knowin' that's a long way to 

{D   Em G } {D   C Am } {G   C Am } {G   Em G }      fall.

{D   Em G } {D   C Am }     Up in space radio waves
{G   C Am } {G   Em G }    dance and race with his face,
{D   Em G } {D   C Am }     Men will fall and be disgraced
{G   C Am } {G   Em  }       But memories won't be erased.

{B7} {C G Em   G Em }   He went the distance. All the way.
{B7} {C G Em   G Em }   Fightin' his battles. No time to play.
{B7} {C G Em   G Em }   Edwin Armstrong helped us hear
{B7} {C G Em   G Em }   radio waves but it cost him dear.

{chorus}

D     G      Edwin Armstrong built your radio.
