IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Em * = xx2003 G = 320003 C/A = x03010
D#aug = xx1003 G7/F = 120003 D = xx0232
G/D = xx0003 Em = 022000 Am = x02210
G/C# = x40003 Em/B = x22000 Fmaj7 = 133210
G/C = x30003 Em7 = 020000 Asus2 = x02200
G/B = x20003 C = x32010 B = x24442

Em * D#aug G/D
"Hello Honey, it's me! What did you think,
G/C# G/C G/B
When you heard me back on the radio?
G/A
What did the kids say,
G G7/F
When they knew it was their long lost...
Em Em/B
...Daddy - O?"

[Verse 1]
Em Em/B C
Re - member how we listened to the radio,
D G
And I said, 'That's the place to be!'
G/A Em C
And how I got the job as an F.M. Jock,
D Am
The day you married me?
G G/B C
It was two kids and I was into A.M. rock,
D Em
But I just had to run a - round,
Fmaj7 C
It's been eight years since I left you, babe,
C/E D Am [*Bass run down]
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone...down
[Chorus]
G D Em Em7
I am the morning D.J.,
Fmaj7
At W. O. L. D. D-D-D! (O. L. D.)
C C/B C/A G/B G/A G
Playing all the hits for you,
D Am Asus2
Wher - ever you may be,
G D
The bright 'Good - morning' voice,
Em Em7 Fmaj7
Who's heard, but never seen,
C G G/B
Feeling all of forty - five,
D D/F# Em Em/B
Going on fif - teen

[Verse 2]
Em Em/B C
The drinking I did on my last big gig,
D G
It made my voice go low,
G/A Em
They said that they liked...
C Cmaj7
The young sound----------------------,
(Sound, sound, sound!)
D Am
When they let me go,
G G/B C
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma,
D Em
To do me a late night talk show,
Fmaj7 C
Now I've worked my way down ...home again,
C/E D Am
Here to Boise in Ida - ho,
D Am [*Bass run down]
That's how this business goes
[Chorus]
G D Em Em7
I am the morning DJ,
Fmaj7
At W. O. L. D. D-D-D! (O. L. D.)

[Bridge]
Em Em
I'm making extra money doing High School sock hops,
D
I'm a big-time guest M.C,
F C
You should hear me talking to the little children,
D
And listen what they say...
B B7
To me------
| /_/_/_/ /_/_/_/ | /_/_/_/ /_/_/_/ |
Em
I got a spot on the top of my head,
D
Just begging for a new toupee,
F
There's a tyre around my gut,
C D
From sitting on my ...but it's never gonna go...
Em Em/B
...A - way!

[Verse 3]
Em Em/B C
Sometimes I get this crazy dream,
D G
That I just take off in my car,
G/A Em/B C
But you can travel on ten thousand miles,
D Am
And still stay where you are,
G G/B C
Thinking that I should stop disc jockeying,
D Em
And start that record store,
Fmaj7 C
Maybe I could settle down,
D Em * D#aug G/D G/C#
If you'd take me back once more
[Pre -Chorus]
Em * D#aug G/D G/C#
Okay, Honey, I see! I guess he's better than me
G/C G/B
Sure, Old Girl, I understand,
G/A G G7/F
You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man
Em Em
