Video Killed The Radio Star (ver 6) by Buggles

Video Killed the Radio Star – The Buggles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The Buggles
Video Killed the Radio Star (1979)
(Geoff Downes, Trevor Horn, Bruce Woolley)
From: "The Age of Plastic"
The chord sheet contains the basic chords which may be enough to strum
along on a guitar. It is a little difficult because often the chords are
not played on the beat but are syncopated (whenever the VERSE chords are
used and in the SOLO, too). It is important to retain this feel, as it is
responsible for the drive of these parts.
The split chords in the VERSE part may be played as regular chords, too
(but the 3rd in the bass gives it that special extra, I think). The split
chords in the INTERLUDE are essential and should stay.
In the tabs, I added the arpeggios, voicings and melody lines for anyone
who would like to get into the track a little deeper. I tried to make it
playable for guitar players, still the piano pattern in the verse might
take a little until it flows along effortlessly. (At least it was like that
for me ...)
Comments and suggestions are highly welcome!
