[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Morning, this morning
the curtains are shut
I'll ring you in the morning,
but the phone's been cut
Can you [F]hear me? (Ooh, can
you hear me?)
I've been calling all day
Can you [C]hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh,
can you hear me?)

[Verse 2]
The [C]radio reporter said the line's all dead
He told me that I oughta
write a letter instead
Can you [F]hear me? (Ooh, can
you hear me?)
I've been calling all day
Can you [C]hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh,
can you hear me?)

[Verse 3]
I [Dm]wish they'd fix the wires,
'cause my [G]baby don't know
That I'm [C]leaving in the morning,
and I'm [F]ready to go
Can you [C]hear me? Can
you [Em]hear me at all?
Gotta [F]get the operator,
make a [G]telephone call
[C]

[Verse 4]
And if I write a letter it won't
get there on time
I'll only reach you, baby,
on the telephone line
Can you [F]hear me? (Ooh, can
you hear me?)
I've been calling all day
Can you [C]hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh,
can you hear me?)

[Verse 5]
[C]My car's all ready,
and my bags are all packed
I'm late already, and I won't be back
Can you [F]hear me? (Ooh, can
you hear me?)
I've been calling you all day
Can you [C]hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh,
can you hear me?)

[Verse 6]
I [Dm]wish they'd fix the wires,
'cause my [G]baby don't know
That I'm [C]leaving in the morning,
and I'm [F]ready to go
Can you [C]hear me? Can
you [Em]hear me at all?
Gotta [F]get the operator,
make a [G]telephone call

[Verse 7]
[C]Do do do do- do- do do do do
Do do do do- do- do do do do, (Can I help you?), (Hello?), (You're playing with the phone,

Do do do do- do- do do do do,

Do do do do- do- do do do do, (I'm talking to the person who's got
no voice who's at the other end of this telephone)
(Getting his little kicks playing
on the telephone)

[Verse 8]
I [Dm]wish they'd fix the wires,
'cause my [G]baby don't know
That I'm [C]leaving in the morning,
