Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (A major) (D major) Hel (A major) lo! Say
(D major) listen,
your mommy, (A major) she home?
Please tell her there's some (D major) body
on the telephone.
Oh, (G major) you're the man who
phoned before.
She's in the boat.
(A major) I'll call her through the door.
But she can (D major) 't come to the phone,
I'm sure. (A major)
Ask her to speak to me,
tell her it's quite im (D major) portant,
just go and see.
Say (E major) you want something
from my mummy,
each time she hears (A major) your ring,
she always says shh, tell him I'm not in.
(D major) But tell me, are you enjoying school? (A major)
Now I suppose you're
(D major) learning the golden rule.
Oh (A major) yes, school's (G major) a little way away
Cos mummy works
and (A major) neighbours take me there each day
Some (D major) times a friend's daddy calls for me
Cos I'm the one with no daddy, you see
Oh (A major) tell her, it's been long
Six years of loneli (D major) ness
That's how old you are, I guess
Oh (A major) no, (E major) I'm only five
But you must have known
my mummy before
She nev (A major) er told me your name though
Hold on, don't go
Tears (D major) (E minor) on the (G major) telephone,
(A major) I tried pre (F sharp minor) tending
(B minor) Her voice (A major) is (E minor) kissing (F minor) mine, (A major)
as we make (D major) love (A major) along the line
Tears (D major) (A major) on the (G major) telephone (A major)
My dream is (F sharp minor) ending
(B minor) But (C minor) (B minor) not so (E minor) long ago (F minor) (A major)
She loved me (D major) so (A major)
Each (D major) summer you go to Mossel Bay (A major)
The same old grand hotel (D major) there
Do you swim each day?
Oh (G major) yes, I'm a good swimmer,
I love the sand as well
But (A major) tell me, how do you know
that (D major) we're in a hotel?
When did you see Marcel Bey?
Oh (A major) tell her, I need you
I love the two of (D major) you
Yes, the two of you
Love us (E flat major) too?
(E major) I've never set eyes on you
Is there something wrong?
You're talking differ (A major) ently
Oh don't cry, don't cry
Tears (E minor) on the (A major) (G major) telephone,
(A major) I tried pre (F sharp minor) tending
(B minor) Her (C minor) voice is (F minor) kiss (E minor) ing mine, (A major)
as we make (D major) love along the line
Tears (G major) on the (A major) (G major) telephone (A major)
My dream is (F sharp minor) ending
(B minor) But not so (E minor) long (F minor) ago (A major)
She loved me (D major) so
I didn't mean (G major) to (D major) cry
Tears (E minor) on (G major) the telephone (A major)
But it's good (F sharp minor) bye now
(B minor) Or I'll be (E minor) on a (F minor) flight
(B flat minor) leav (A major) ing tonight (D major)
Oh, (A major) (D major) do try again (G major) now
But she's (A major) leaving (D major)
Please try to stop (G major) her
I can (A major) 't, she's gone
Well, (D major) if she's gone (G major) then I'll (A major) say goodbye
(G major) Goodbye, mister
Goodbye, little one.
