Telephone Call From Istanbul chords by Tom Waits

Chords with lyrics

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  Telephone Call From Istanbul – Tom Waits
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: cg10
This is a simple version in the same key as the version on "Frank's Wild Years",
with complete lyrics. It owes a lot to Todd Olsen's tab, so thanks for the cues!

[Chord diagramF# minorF#m] All night long on the broken glass
[Chord diagramB minorBm] livin in a medicine chest
[Chord diagramC#C#] mediteromanian hotel back
[Chord diagramF# minorF#m] sprawled across a roll top desk

[Chord diagramF# minorF#m] the monkey rode the blade on an overhead fan
[Chord diagramB minorBm] they paint the donkey blue if you pay
[Chord diagramC#C#] I got a telephone call from Istanbul
[Chord diagramF# minorF#m] my baby's coming home today

Chorus:
[Chord diagramBm7Bm7] will you sell me one of those if I shave my head
[Chord diagramE MajorE] get me out of town is what fireball said
[Chord diagramA augmentedA] never trust a man in a blue trench coat
[Chord diagramA augmentedA] never drive a car when you're dead
[Chord diagramB minorBm] Saturday's a festival Friday's a gem
[Chord diagramC#C#] dye your hair yellow and raise your hem
[Chord diagramF# minorF#m] follow me to beulah's on dry creek road
  [Chord diagramC#C#]
I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed

Repeat chorus followed by:

[Chord diagramF# minorF#m] take me down to buy a tux on red rose bear
[Chord diagramB minorBm] got to cut a hole in the day
[Chord diagramC#C#] I got a telephone call from Istanbul
[Chord diagramF# minorF#m] my baby's coming home today
