Intro: C  C/Bb  Am F


Bb                    Bb7
These long lonely evenings
       Eb       G7
Here I am on the phone
Cm            F7        Bb
Wondering when she will call
                    Bb7
She said she would write me
           Eb      G7
Cause she knows I'm alone
Cm           C7      F7
But I hear nothing at all
       Bb                   Am          D7
I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
Gm                  Gm7           Fm        Bb7
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia
Eb          F/Eb             Dm        G7
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
            Cm               C7     Cm   F7
Cause she's more than the whole world to me
        Bb                           Am      D7
There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
     Gm                  Gm7            Fm     Bb7
The only one I'm thinking of is Sylvia
Eb        F/Eb     Dm         G7
Feeling so sad now, I'll be so glad now
      Cm        F7         Bb   F#7
If  I just had my Sylvia with me
     B           B7
That old weepin' willow
         E          G#7
Seems to whisper her name
C#m       F#7   B
Why did she go away
                 B7
The tears on my pillow
                    G#7
They're not hard to explain
C#m             C#7     C#m  F#7
There's nothing else I can say
B                                 Bbm7  Eb7
I'm waiting for a word of love from Sylvia
     G#m                     G#7m                    F#m     B
You think she'd never heard of love my Sylvia,
     E       F#/E     Ebm       G#7
But when I'm with her Lord, I forgive her
            C#m                       C#7    C#m   F#7
Cause she's more than the whole world to me
        B                                     Bbm7   Eb7
There's nothing like a word of love from Sylvia
    G#m                 G#m7           F#m   B7
