Electric Light Orchestra, Calling America (1986)
^{Key: :[D#] (w: Jeff Lynne)}

VERSE 1:
Somebody [D#] told her that there was a [A#] place like heaven
[Cm] Across the water on a [G#] seven-forty-seven
[D#] Yeah, we're living in
^[Cm] In a ^[A#] modern [D#] world ^[Cm]^[A#]

VERSE 2:
[D#] And pretty soon she's really [A#] got the notion
Of [Cm] flying out across the [G#] big blue ocean
[D#] Yeah, we're living in
^[Cm] In a ^[A#] modern ^[D#] world ^[Cm]^[G#]^[A#]

PRE-CHORUS 1:
[G] Talk is cheap on [Cm] satellite
But [G#] all I get is ^[Fm] (stat-^[C#]-ic)
[G] Infor-[Cm]-mation, [G] I'm still [Cm] here
Re-[G#]-dial on auto-[A#]-matic

CHORUS:
(Calling A-[D#]-merica) Can't get a [G#] message through
(Calling A-[D#]-merica) That's what she [A#] said to do
(Calling A-[D#]-merica) That's where she [G#] has to be
(Calling A-[D#]-merica) She left a [A#] number for me
(Calling A-[A#]-merica) [A#]

VERSE 3:
But I'm just [D#] talking to a satel-[A#]-lite
[Cm] Twenty thousand miles up in the [G#] sky each night
[D#] Yeah, we're living in
^[Cm] In a ^[A#] modern [D#] world ^[Cm]^[A#]

VERSE 4:
All I [D#] had to do was pick up the [A#] phone
[Cm] I'm out in space, trying to [G#] talk to someone
[D#] Yeah, we're living in
^[Cm] In a ^[A#] modern ^[D#] world ^[Cm]^[G#]^[A#]

PRE-CHORUS 2:
She [G] left a number [Cm] I could call
But [G#] no one's there, no ^[Fm] one at ^[C#] all
There [G] must be [Cm] something [G] going [Cm] wrong
That [G#] number just rings [A#] on and on

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE 1]

VERSE 5:
Said she'd [D#] call when she'd been gone a [A#] while
[Cm] Guess she's missing me a-[G#]-cross the miles
[D#] Yeah, we're living in
^[Cm] In a ^[A#] modern ^[D#] world ^[Cm]^[G#]^[A#]

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO:
(Calling A-[D#]-merica [G#])
(Calling A-[D#]-merica [A#])
(Calling A-[D#]-merica [G#])
(Calling A-[D#]-merica [A#])
