Capo on 3rd fret.

Intro:  G  C  G (2x's)  D  C

D
Well back in 1876 an ol' boy named Bell
Invented a contraption that we know so well
     C
By the 1950's they're in everybody's home 
     G
As a crazy little thing they call the telephone 
            D                           C
Now there's one on every corner, in the back of every bar
        G (stop)
You can get one in your briefcase, on a plane or in your car
====CHORUS====
             G          C             G
So tell me why, haven't I, heard from you
         C                        G
Tell me why, haven't I heard from you
            D               C
I said now darlin',  honey, what is your excuse
G                             G C G D C
Why haven't I heard from you
==============
D
Well there's no problem gettin' to me 
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forward and call waiting
You can even call collect
     C
The service man he told me that my phone was workin' fine
           G
And I have come to the conclusion the trouble isn't with my line
    D                         C
I'm sure the operator will be glad to put you through 
        G (stop)
So dial zero for assistance if this all confuses you 
*Repeat Chorus*

      C
There better been a flood, a landslide of mud
  G
A fire that burns up the wires
      C
And a thunder so loud with a black funnel cloud
  F                       D
A natural disaster I know nothing about
===========
        G
Tell me why, haven't I, heard from you
        C                          G
Tell me why, haven't I, heard from you 
            D              C
I said now darling, honey, what is your excuse
G
Why haven't I heard from you     Repeat once more

end...C  G
...Hope it sounds alright.....
