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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE 1]

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

OUTRO:
(Calling A-[E]-merica [A])
(Calling A-[E]-merica [B])
(Calling A-[E]-merica [A])
(Calling A-[E]-merica [B])
