Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I am leaving  Mississippi  in the evening  rain
 These Delta  towns where  satin gowns and the high-beam  frame
 Loretta  Lynn guides my hands  through the radio
 Where would I be  at times like these  without the songs
 Loretta wrote?
 (chorus)
 'Cause when you can't  find a friend,  you still got the radio
 When you can't  find a friend,  you still got the radio
 The radio  listen to the radio
 The radio  listen to the radio
 It's the radio  listen to the radio
 The radio
 I left a handsome two-steppin' good ole' boy in Tennessee
 Now he's sittin' on the sofa he's lookin' for his supper
  wond'rin' what's become of me
 I got a 00-18 Martin guitar in the back seat of the car
 Hey I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on
 (chorus)
 There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky
 I smell the Ponchatrain I hear "Silver Wings" and then
  away Merle Haggard flies
 That good old boy will find a band of gold on the stereo
 Hey then my Mamma's gonna call say "where's she gone?" he'll say
  "down the road with the radio on"
 And when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
 And when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
 The radio listen to the radio
 The radio listen to the radio
 The radio listen to the radio
 The radio now listen to the radio
 The radio and its down the road you go
 The radio listen to the radio (repeat and fade)
 C: x32033 or x32030 (It's actually C(9).)
