E flourish (x8) ->
   E & A runs (x4)
         E B2 G# A2 B2   E B2 G# A2 C#2 B2
                     E                            B2
                 Begin the day with a friendly voice
                           G#                A2         A2 B2
                 A companion, unobtrusive
                 Plays that song that's so elusive
                 And the magic music makes your morning mood
                                                                                                  E B2 G# A2 C#2 B2

                 Off on your way, hit the open road
                 There is magic at your fingers
                 For the spirit ever lingers
                 Undemanding contact in your happy solitude
                                                                                             E B2 G# A2 B2 E

                                   E                         E/F#
                                Invisible airwaves crackle with life
                                E/G#                   E/F#                  E
                                Bright antennae bristle with the energy
                                                                                                   E flourish (x2)

                                Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
                                Bearing a gift beyond price - almost free

                 All this machinery making modern music
                 Can still be open-hearted
                 Not so coldly charted - it's really just a question
                 Of your honesty - yeah, your honesty

                 One likes to believe
                 In the freedom of music
                 But glittering prizes and endless compromises
                 Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah
                                                                                 E B2 G# A2 B2
