WHY DON'T THAT TELEPHONE RING?
T-Byrd


(Key of Bb)



I had the (Bb) operator call me back
(Ebm6/Bb) She said my phone was working (Bb) fine
I hear in Louisville it's almost dawn
(Emb6/Bb) But, it's 2 a.m. Pacific (Bb) time
(Eb) I thought sure she would've called by now
(F) To tell me all about
(Gm) That wild and cr(F)azy L.A. (Eb) scene
Well, I (Bb) know my number's in the book
(Ebm6/Bb) Why don't that telephone ring (Bb) (Fm7) 

(Bb7) Don't she (Ebm7) know I'm (Cm7) axiously wai(Bb)ting
Longing for (Ebm7) her long (Cm7) distance (Bb) call
I wish I knew (Ebm7) what her (Cm7) silence is (Dm7) saying
(Ebm6) If our love means any(Bb)thing
(Ebm6) Why don't that telephone (Bb) ring

Solo

She (Bb) always had this distant dream
(Ebm6/Bb) I said go make it come (Bb) true
And, ya know whatever's in the cards
(Ebm6/Bb) I'll be right here for (Bb) you
(Eb) But, that's been too long ago
(F) Now, I just don't know
(Gm) If I'm (F) still part of that (Eb) dream
If I (Bb) ever cross her mind at all
(Ebm6/Bb) Why don't that telephone ring (Bb)  (Fm7)

(Bb7) Don't she (Ebm7) know I'm (Cm7) axiously wai(Bb)ting
Longing for (Ebm7) her long (Cm7) distance (Bb) call
I wish I knew (Ebm7) what her (Cm7) silence is (Dm7) saying
(Ebm6) If our love means any(Bb)thing
(Ebm6) Why don't that telephone (Bb) ring
(Ebm6) If our love means any(Bb)thing
(Ebm6) Why don't that telephone (Bb) ring
