On The Radio

Regina Spektor

Text File

This is the song as close as my guitar can get to her piano. You'll have to listen for tempo, of course, but this covers the intro. As for the verses, I've included a little on how I like to play it, but full strumming can work, too. As I play the verse, I play little louder as it reaches the refrain and then strum once each measure for the itself.
