1. Had our number changed today although I hated to,
D G
but
each time the phone would ring they'd want to speak to you.
G C
And it hurts to tell them
you're not here with me,

may
be now, oh, telephone, will let me be.

2. It's not in the book now so you'd better
write it down,
D G
just
in case your love for me should ever come around.
G C
You might want to call and
break the news to me,
G D7 G
just
call lonesome 77203.
