Chord/Tab song: Roadrunner

Modern Lovers - Roadrunner

Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the
Modern Lovers' 1976 album, The Modern Lovers.
I would be extremely interested in hearing from
anybody with corrections, comments, etc.

Thanks,

Roadrunner

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!
