Tom T. Hall – Tulsa Telephone Book (Guitar)

E                                          A
Have you read any good telephone books lately? 

E                                   B
If you ain't then let me recommend one 

       E                                A                    Am
I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times 

        E              B                        E
If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun

E             B                         A           E              
Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane 

    B               A                       E           B
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name 

E                                       A                Am
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end 

        E                   B              E     B
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

E                                              A
Well, I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything goin' 

     E                                      B
She lived in Tulsa and didn't have anything on 

     E                                 A             Am
She said, My name is Shirley, and I said, My name is T. 

E                   B                   E
I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone

E                                         A
All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now 

E                                       B
And they gotta know how long I've been alone 

    E                                        A            Am
If you meet a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair 

E                               B            E
Would you tell her that she's wanted on the phone

E             B                         A           E 
Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane 

     B              A                       E           B
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name 

E                                       A                Am
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end 

                           B              E    B
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
