Strofa 1
Bb
I woke up to the suffering
Cm
of the pebble in the hole
F Eb
My old landlady answered it,
Bb F
give me a call
Bb
When I got to the phone, the switch fell,
Cm
mailman holds the line
F Eb Bb
I'm in no rush, talk to no one,
F
I need the time
Bb Eb
Hang up, let's call it a day
F
I've been a -searching long,
Eb Bb
but it's hard to come by on a telephone exchange
Eb
Hang up, let's call it a day
F
I've been searching on for a thought to
Eb Bb
come out of telephone and tape
I'm cut out feeling wallpaper,
F Cm
a life without a chase
D Eb
I think of what I have to say,
F
decisions that I make
Bb
Hope your phone will make it
F Cm
easy to open up my mind
F Eb
Should I slip back to the tree,
F
leave it all behind?
Bb Eb
Hang up, let's call it a day
D Eb F
I've been searching long,
Eb Bb
but it's hard to come by on a telephonic day
Eb
Hang up, let's call it a day
F
I've been searching long but
it's hard to come by
Eb Bb
The telephone exchange
Gm
The fading song disqualifies
F
Reflects my bitter mind
Eb
But unlike you, I'm leaving
F
It's good to test the time
Bb
Once again, I hear your voice,
F Cm
it never seems to stay
Eb
I know it's so, so far away
Bb F
No choice of my own
Bb
Said you needed time alone
Cm D
to ease your troubled way
F Eb
I gave you time and I've
done some thinking
F
Listen when I say
Bb Eb F
Hang up, let's call it a day I've been searching long,
but it's hard to
Eb Bb
come by on the telephone any day
Eb
Hang up, let's call it a day
F
I've been searching long but it's hard to
Eb Bb
come by on the telephone every day
Eb
Let's call it a day
F
I've been searching so long but it's hard to
Eb Bb
come by on the telephone every day
Eb
Hang up the phone, let's call it a day
F
I've been searching so long,
Eb Bb
it's hard to come by on the telephone these days.
Eb
And I've been calling day.
F
I've been searching so long,
Eb
but it's hard to come by on the telephone these days.
Cry, baby, cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlour
Playing piano for the children of the king
Cry, baby, cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, baby, cry
The king was in the garden
Picking flowers for a friend who came to play
The queen was in the playroom
Painting pictures for the children's holiday
Cry, baby, cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, baby, cry
The duchess of Kirkcaldy always smiling
And arriving late for tea
The duke was having problems
With a message at the local bird and bee
Cry, baby, cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, baby, cry
At twelve o'clock a meeting 'round the table
For a séance in the dark
With voices out of nowhere
Put on specially by the children for a lark
Cry, baby, cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, baby, cry
Cry, cry, cry, baby
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
Cry, baby, cry
Cry, cry, cry
Make your mother sigh
She's old enough to know better
So cry, baby, cry
Can you take me back
Where I came from?
Can you take me back?
Can you take me back
Where I came from?
Brother, can you take me back?
Can you take me back?
Mm, can you take me
Where I came from?
Can you take me
Back?
