TELEPHONE LINE
Electric Light Orchestra
music and lyrics by Jeff Lynne
from the album A New World Record
A Aj7
Hello--how are you
A7 A#dim Bm
Have you been alright, through all those lonely lonely lonely nights,
E Bm C#m
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
D E Aj7 Dj7
If you'd pick up that telephone.
Hey--how you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view.
A F#m D E
Doo wop etc. doo wah doo lang
A F#m D E
Blue days, Black nights, doo wah doo lang
A F#m
I look into the sky
D E
The love you see ain't gonna see you through
A F#m
And I wonder why
D E
the little dreams we had ain't coming true
A F#m D E6 E
Oh, oh, Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
A F#m D E6 Fdim
Oh, oh, Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
O.K. so no--one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.
CHORUS -- repeat
A#dim: x02323
Aj7: x02120
Dj7: xx0222
Fdim: xx0101
E6 : 022120
