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

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

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

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

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