Lyrics

I’d (F)sit a lone and watch your light, my (Gm7)on ly friend through teen age by nights.

And (Bb)ev ’ry thing I had to know, I (Gm7)heard it on my (Bb)ra di (F)o.

You (F)gave them all, those old time stars through (Gm7)wars of worlds, in vad and by hours.

You (Bb)made ’em laugh; you made ’em cry.

You (Gm7)made us feel like (Bb)ra di (F)o.

You (Bb)we could (F)fly.

So (F)don’t be come er some back ground noise, a (Fm6)back drop for the girls we and boys who (Bb)just don’t know or just don’t care, you and (G7)just com plain when you’re not there.

You (F)had your time; you had the pow’r.

You’ve (C7sus)yet to have your fin est (C7)hour.

(Bb)Ra (F)di o.

(F)All we hear is (Bb)ra di o (F)ga ga, (Bb)ra di o (F)goo goo, (Bb)ra di o (F)ga ga.

(F)All we hear is (Bb)ra di o (F)ga ga, (Bb)ra di o (F)blah blah.

(Eb)Ra di o, what’s new?

(Dm)Ra di o

(Csus)some (C)one (Csus2)still (C)loves (F)you.

We (Dm)Some (C)one (Csus2)still (C)loves (F)you.

About “Radio Ga Ga”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Radio Ga Ga"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature F. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen played in?
Radio Ga Ga is arranged in the key of F on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Radio Ga Ga"?
The arrangement plays at 110 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Radio Ga Ga" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Radio Ga Ga"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Radio Ga Ga"?
"Radio Ga Ga" was originally performed by Queen. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
What chords are used in "Radio Ga Ga"?
This arrangement uses 12 chords: Bb, C, C7, Csus2, Csus4, Dm, Eb, F, +4 more.
What other songs by Queen can I play here?
Try "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY", "BICYCLE RACE", "SOMEBODY TO LOVE". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Radio Ga Ga" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature F, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 110 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
