Telephone Romeo Jason Boland & The Stragglers
The song is in the key of A
Intro and bridge
A E F#m D A E D (step down to A) A
[A] [E] [F#m] [D] [A] [E] [D]
We kept our p[A]arting conn[E]ected by the [F#m]same stretch of r[A]oad
And I[D]’m tired of p[A]acking round this h[E]eavy load
It st[F#m]arted out a st[A]ream but then the l[E]evee fe[A]ll
When the r[D]ain maker h[A]ad some extra se[E]ed to sell
Well I just thought id call and se what’s going on
Did the hill country flatten out since I’ve been gone
Are the fields all painted up in red and blue
Are you thinking of me the times I’m thinking of you
(Chorus)
Well I just wanna dr[D]ink ‘til I’m not th[A]irsty
And I just wanna sl[E]eep ‘til I’m not t[A]ired
I just wanna dr[D]ive till I run out of mo[A]ney[A/F#] [E]
F#m A E (Bridge)
I don’t wanna be no Romeo on the telephone wire
Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous
Well the yanks are in town and we got nothing to do
The neighbors are gone and you’re feeling alone
You can’t kiss somebody on the telephone
Well did you go out last night and was it just a friend
Would you care if I showed up there at 6 AM
And drive all day with the top pulled down
We could stay in all night or we could paint the town
(Chorus)
I guess I’d better go now its getting too late
There’s a party downstairs and I thought I heard something break
I bid you goodnight and hope to see you soon
Maybe later on this afternoon
(Chorus)
