  This song has two chords that are played the same through out the

  song. It is in the key of A. The main riff for the entire song is:

  

  

       D D  A

  

  e----2-2-0-

  B----3-3-2-

  G----2-2-2-

  D----0-0-2-

  A----X-X-0-

  E----X-X-X-

  

  one two three four five six

  DD A

      Roadrunner, roadrunner

  DD A

      Going faster miles an hour

  DD A

      Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop

  DD A

      With the radio on

  

  (and so on)

  

  The very end of the song has a couple of E's, like this:

  

  DD A

  DD A

  DD A EEE A

  

  (here are the remainder of the lyrics)

  

  I'm in love with Massachusetts

  And the neon when it's cold outside

  And the highway when it's late at night

  Got the radio on

  I'm like the roadrunner

  

  Alright

  I'm in love with modern moonlight

  128 when it's dark outside

  I'm in love with Massachusetts

  I'm in love with the radio on

  It helps me from being alone late at night

  It helps me from being lonely late at night

  I don't feel so bad now in the car

  Don't feel so alone, got the radio on

  Like the roadrunner

  That's right

  

  Said welcome to the spirit of 1956

  Patient in the bushes next to '57

  The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick

  Suburban trees, suburban speed

  And it smells like heaven(thunder)

  And I say roadrunner once

  Roadrunner twice

  I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night

  Roadrunner

  That's right

  

  Well now

  Roadrunner, roadrunner

  Going faster miles an hour

  Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop

  With the radio on at night

  And me in love with modern moonlight

  Me in love with modern rock & roll

  Modern girls and modern rock & roll

  Don't feel so alone, got the radio on

  Like the roadrunner

  O.K., now you sing Modern Lovers

  

  (Radio On!)

  I got the AM

  (Radio On!)

  Got the car, got the AM

  (Radio On!)

  Got the AM sound, got the

  (Radio On!)

  Got the rockin' modern neon sound

  (Radio On!)

  I got the car from Massachusetts, got the

  (Radio On!)

  I got the power of Massachusetts when it's late at night

  (Radio On!)

  I got the modern sounds of modern Massachusetts

  I've got the world, got the turnpike, got the

  I've got the, got the power of the AM

  Got the, late at night, (?), rock & roll late at night

  The factories and the auto signs got the power of modern sounds

  Alright

  

  Right, bye bye!
