Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Intro:
E7E7


Verse 1:
E7E7
Well you covered your tracks and now I can't see you
E7E7
you had your ashes scattered at sea
E7E7
There's no grave to visit, no tombstone to look at
E7E7
you were in the New York Times obituary
A7A7
There's no record, no tape, no book, no movie
A7A7
some photographs and memories
E7E7
Sometimes I dial your phone number by mistake
E7E7
and this is what I hear

Chorus:
E7E7
This is no longer a working number, baby
E7E7
please redial your call
E7E7
This is no longer a working number
E7E7
your party doesn't live here anymore
E7E7
This is no longer a working number
E7E7
if you still require help
E7E7
Stay on the line and an operator
E7E7
will try to bail you out


Verse 2:
E7E7
I knew I should have seen you that Thursday
E7E7
I knew I shouldn't have left
E7E7
But you sounded so good, your spirits so up
E7E7
I thought I'd see you next week
A7A7
I say over and over if I had half a brain
A7A7
if I had half a brain in my head
E7E7
I wouldn't sit here dialing a wrong number
E7E7
and listening to what some recording said
E7E7
This is no longer a working number
E7E7
please redial your call
E7E7
This is no longer a working number
E7E7
your party doesn't live here anymore
E7E7
This is no longer a working number
E7E7
well, if you still require help
E7E7
Stay on the line and an operator
E7E7
will try to bail you out

Verse 3:
E7E7
I knew I should have written, written things down
E7E7
I always say I'll never forget
E7E7
Who can forget a one-eyed pilot
E7E7
who's a concert pianist, ah
A7A7
A augmentedA painter, a poet, songwriter supreme
A7A7
my friends are blending in my head
E7E7
They're melting into one great spirit
E7E7
and that spirit isn't dead
E7E7
Now I may not remember everything that you said
E7E7
but I remember all the things that you've done
E7E7
And not a day goes by not an hour
E7E7
when I don't try to be like you
A7A7
You were gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
A7A7
and you were that way all of the time
E7E7
So I guess you know why I'm laughing at myself
E7E7
every time I dial the wrong line


Outro:
E7E7
This is no longer a working number, baby
E7E7
This is no longer a working number
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
