 Every night  I pass the graveyard
 on the way  to my job.
 Tonight the voices  came rushin' by
 like blood  to the heart.
 And the old  radio ,  been silent  since seventy three  (or two, depending
 the show).
 Well its burn  and its crackle  and its voices  came shinin' through.
 Oh it's that lost  radio
 When it hits  you, you just gotta go.
 Them voices  calling from thousand  years ago.
 Callin' you into  the night.
Oh  it's that lost  radio.
 Them sweet silver voices rose up to the sky,
 those old forgotten faces made my tears run wild.
 They said child don't forget, they said live while you can.
 So I cranked it on up and drove back to that hometown of mine.
 Oh these restless/crazy times, where's it all goin' I don't know...
 (Listen for the rest of the lyrics. I feel like they sing it differently all the time.)
 Crazy outro/solo:
 Callin' you  into night
 Callin' you  into night
 until finally:
 little caveats: hit the suspended fourth sometimes during A, and come down (3rd->2nd->1st)
 and sometimes hit the passing notes between the root notes during the D->D/F->G->E7
 and other stuff
 go to archive.org. Listen to all the rads you want.
