I'm Straight

This song has pretty much the same structure throughout, like this:

   E MajorE                 E MajorE               C majorC              G+G  (F#F#)     E MajorE

e--0---------------|-0-------------|-0-------------|------------0----|
B--0---------------|-0-------------|-1-------------|------------0----|
G--1---------------|-1-------------|-0-------------|------------1----|
D--2---------------|-2-------------|-2-------------|------------2----|
A--2---------------|-2-------------|-3-------------|-2----------2----|
E--0---------------|-0-------------|-X-------------|-3---2--0---0----|

Basically an E MajorE C majorC G+G E MajorE pattern with a little bass run between the G+G and
the E. Repeat this pattern for the entire song, except where there are
single chords, as in the beginning. N.C. means "no chord."


  E MajorE  N.C.                  E MajorE  N.C.
I called this number three ...
    C majorC  N.C.

      C majorC                                G+G F#F# E MajorE

E MajorE
'Cause here's your chance to ...
                   C majorC

         C majorC                             G+G F#F# E MajorE

(and so on . . . . . . )

So this phone call today ...
