The Telephone Girl

[Verse 1]
A                                  
Here of late I feel so strange I'm 
E             A
happy and I'm sad
    E               E7            
The way my feelings are sometimes 
                         A
I think they'll drive me mad
  A                             
A pretty little girl with frizzy 
            E            A
curls came here a week ago
    A             A/B A/C# D    
To work upon the tel -e-  phone,
        E                A
 And sh'said, hello, hello


[Verse 2]
A                                  
Hello, hello, her sweet hello, her 
E                A
voice like music rings
     E                E7          
It's sweeter than the 
                        A
whippoorwill, that in the moonlight 
sings
       A                           
As the bell boy here at this hotel 
    E             A
I'm always on the go

And then she'll ring that 
         E              A E A
telephone, and say hello, hello


[Verse 3]
  A                               
I haven't spoken to her yet, I've 
E              A
been in such a daze
   E                   E7         
Although sometimes she looks at 
                           A
me, with a sort of a distant gaze
       A                           
That I feel so weak, I cannot 
     E                A
speak, my heart is beating so
   A             A/B A/C# D     
And then she'll ring that 
         E              A
telephone, and say hello, hello

[Verse 4]
  A                            
I see her as she walks along in 
 E               A
sunshine and in rain
      E                  E7       
I can hear her midst the jangle of
              A
 the elevated train
    A                              
I'd buy for us a little place where
 E           A
 honeysuckle grow
   A             A/B A/C# D     
She could meet me at the  garden
          E              A
 gate and say hello, hello


[Verse 5]
    A                              
In about a year, she married me and
 E               A
 then we settled down
     E             E7             
In a pretty little bungalow not 
            A
very far from town
    A                              
At night as I go home from work my 
E                A
heart is beating so
    A          A/B A/C# D       
She'll kiss me at the door and  
E            A
say hello, hello, hello
