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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE 1]

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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