Intro:
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB

E MajorE                     A augmentedA
Have you read any good telephone books lately?
E MajorE                  BB
If you ain't then let me recommend one
    E MajorE                A augmentedA
I've already read that Tulsa telephone book through thirteen times
    E MajorE       BB            E MajorE
If you don't know any last names it ain't much fun

E MajorE       BB             A augmentedA      E MajorE
Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
  BB        A augmentedA            E MajorE      BB
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
E MajorE                    A augmentedA        E MajorE
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end
              BB       E MajorE   BB
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again

E MajorE                       A augmentedA
Well, I was in Tulsa and didn't have anything goin'
   E MajorE                   BB
She lived in Tulsa and didn't have anything on
   E MajorE                 A augmentedA
She said, My name is Shirley, and I said, My name is T.
E MajorE          BB          E MajorE
I woke up the next mornin' and she was gone

E MajorE                     A augmentedA
All of the Tulsa operators know my voice now
E MajorE                    BB
And they gotta know how long I've been alone
  E MajorE                    A augmentedA
If you meet a girl named Shirley with some ribbons in her hair
E MajorE                BB      E MajorE
Would you tell her that she's wanted on the phone

E MajorE       BB             A augmentedA      E MajorE
Readin' that Tulsa telephone book, can drive a guy insane
   BB       A augmentedA            E MajorE      BB
Especially if that girl you're lookin' for has no last name
E MajorE                    A augmentedA        E MajorE
I gotta find her and tell her, I don't want our love to end
              BB       E MajorE  BB
So I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
E MajorE            BB       E MajorE
I'm readin' that Tulsa telephone book again
