VERSE 1: (Drums, Bass)
NC (F#m)
I've been drivin' all night,
(F#m)
My hand's wet on the wheel.
(F#m)
There's a voice in my head,
(F#m)
That drives my heel.
(F#m)
It's my baby callin',
(F#m)
Says, "I need you here."
(F#m)
And it's a half past four,
(F#m)
And I'm shifting gear.
PRE-CHORUS 1:
E5
When she is lonely,
B5 F#5
And the longing gets too much.
E5
She sends a cable,
B5 A5/B B5/C#
Coming in from above.
C#5 B5/C#
Don't need a phone at all.
CHORUS 1:
D A5 E5 F#5
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love,
D A5 E5
We've got a wave in the air.
NC (F#m7)
Radar Love.
INTERLUDE 1:
|F#m7 |Riff x 4
VERSE 2:
NC (F#m)
The radio's playing some forgotten song,
(F#m)
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong".
(F#m)
The road has got me hypnotized,
(F#m)
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise.
PRE-CHORUS 2
E5
When I get lonely,
B5 F#5
And I'm sure I've had enough.
E5
She sends her comfort,
B5 A5/B B5/C#
Comin' in from above.
C#5 B5/C#
Don't need a letter at all.
CHORUS 2:
D A5 E5 F#5
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love,
D A5 E5
We've got a line in the sky.
NC F#m7
Radar Love.
INTERLUDE 2:
|NC |Drums x 8
|F#m7 |Riff x 16
|F#m7 |Bass Line x 8
VERSE 4:
NC (F#m)
No more speed, I'm almost there,
(F#m)
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care.
(F#m)
Last car to pass, here I go,
(F#m)
And the line of cars drove down real slow.
VERSE 5:
NC (F#m)
And the radio played that forgotten song,
(F#m)
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong".
(F#m)
And the newsman sang his same song,
(F#m)
One more Radar Love gone!
PRE-CHORUS 3
E5
When I get lonely,
B5 F#5
And I'm sure I've had enough.
E5
She sends her comfort,
B5 A5/B B5/C#
Comin' in from above.
C#5 B5/C#
Don't need a letter at all.
CHORUS 3:
D A5 E5 F#5
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love,
D A5 E5
We've got a line in the sky.
D A5 E5 F#5
We've got a thing that's called -- Radar Love.
D A5 E5
We've got a thing that's called, --
NC F#m7

Notes.
1. During 1973–74, when "Radar Love" was a hit, they had Kiss and Aerosmith as their
opening act.
2. On October 10, 2011, at the Historical Museum of The Hague, PostNL presented the
first postage stamp with music. This stamp was issued in honour of the 50th anniversary of
the legendary Dutch band Golden Earring. When a smartphone with a special app is held up
to the music stamp, Golden Earring’s “Radar Love” plays.
