Calling America (midi)

C Am G

1. Some…bo….dy

C G

told her that there was a place like heaven,

Am F

across the water on a seven-fortyseven,

C - Am G C - Am - G

yeah, we're living in in a modern world.

C - G

2. And pretty soon she's really got the notion,

Am F

of flying out across the big blue ocean,

C - Am G C - Am - F - G

yeah, we're living in in a modern world.

E Am F Dm -Bb

Talk is cheap on satellite, but all I get is sta….tic.

E Am E Am F G

Information, I'm still here, re-dial on automatic.

C F

Calling America, can't get a message through,

C G

calling America, that's what she said to do.

C F

Calling America, that's where she has to be,

C G

calling America, she left a number for me, calling America.

C - G

3. But I'm just talking to a satellite,

Am F

twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night,

C - Am G C - Am - G

yeah, we're living in in a modern world.

C G

4. All I had to do was pick up the phone,

Am F

I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone.

C - Am G C - Am - F - G

Yeah, we're living in in a modern world.

E Am

She left a number I could call,

F Dm Bb

but no one's there, no one at all.

E Am E Am

There must be something going wrong,

F G

that number just rings on and on.

C F

Calling America, can't get a message through,

C G

calling America, that's what she said to do.

C F

Calling America, that's where she has to be,

C G

calling America, she left a number for me, calling America.

5. = 1 verse as instrumental

C G

6. Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while,

Am F

guess she's missing me across the miles,

C - Am G C - Am - F - G

yeah, we're living in in a modern world.
