E                                    A
It's lonely out tonight down here in Georgia
        E                            B7
And the oldest friend I've got I met today
    E                             A
The woman that I love just up and left me
        E              B7             E
And the place I love a thousand miles away

                       A
Operator hook me up to Houston
E                     B7
Get me anybody on the phone
E                                  A
Look there in your book and pick a number
          E               B7               E
Cause you can't be choosy when you're this alone

          A                E
Won't you talk to me Texas let me hear that draw
  A                                  B7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call
          E                  A
Won't you talk to me Texas I got these homesick blues
E             B7              E
Tell me I can come on home to you

                              A
I got this faded number in my wallet
     E                            B7
It's been in here a dozen years I know
  E                             A
I used to call it up when I was lonely
E               B7                 E
Lord that women sure could love me so

                                         A
I know by now she's probably changed her number
    E                                       B7
And with my luck she's probably changed her name
   E                                     A
If there's a chance in hell I think I'll take it
          E                 B7            E
Cause I'd love to hear that woman's voice again

repeat #3 x2

                  B7              E
Hey tell me I can come on home to you
