Electric Light Orchestra — Calling America

Verse: 
D A 
Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven 
Bm G 
Across the water on a seven-fortyseven 
D Bm A D Bm A 
Yeah, we're living in a modern world. 
D A 
And pretty soon she's really got the notion 
Bm G 
Of flying out across the big blue ocean 
D Bm A D (D - Bm - G - A) 
Yeah, we're living in a modern world. 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
F# Bm 
Talk is cheap on satellite 
G Em C 
But all I get is static 
F# Bm F# Bm 
Information, I'm still here 
G A 
Re-dial on automatic. 
 
Chorus:=20 
D G 
Calling America (can't get a message through) 
D A 
Calling America (that's what she said to do) 
D G 
Calling America (that's where she has to be) 
D A 
Calling America (she left a number for me) 
A 
Calling America. 
 
Verse: 
But I'm just talking to a satellite 
Twenty thousand miles up in the sky each night 
Yeah, we're living in a modern world. 
All I had to do was pick up the phone 
I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone 
D Bm A D (D - C#m) 
Yeah, we're living in a modern world. 
 
Pre-Chorus: 
She left a number I could call 
But no one's there, no one at all 
There must be something going wrong 
That number just rings on and on. 
 
Chorus:=20 
Calling America (can't get a message through) 
Calling America (that's what she said to do) 
Calling America (that's where she has to be) 
Calling America (she left a number for me) 
Calling America.

Verse: 
Said she'd call when she'd been gone a while  
Guess she's missing me across the miles 
Yeah, we're living in a modern world.
