Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Hav[A]e y[D]ou [A]rea[D]d any
good telephone books [G]lately?
[D]If you ain't then let me
recommend [A]one
I've [D]already read that Tulsa telephone
[G]book through thirteen [Gm]times
If [D]you don't know any [A]last names
it ain't much fun
[D]

[Verse 2]
Readin' that [A]Tulsa telephone book,
can [G]drive a guy in[D]sane
[Bm]Especi[A]ally if that girl [G]you're
lookin' [D]for has no last [A]name
[D]I gotta find her and tell her,
I don't [G]want our love to [Gm]end
So I'm [D]readin' that Tulsa tele
[A]phone book again
[D][A]

[Verse 3]
Well, [D]I was in Tulsa and didn't
have anything [G]goin'
She [D]lived in Tulsa and didn't
have anything [A]on
She [D]said, "My name is Shirley," and I said,
[G]"My name is T."[Gm]
[D]I woke up the next
[A]mornin' and she was gone
[D]

[Verse 4]
All of the Tulsa operators
know my [G]voice now
And [D]they gotta know how
long I've been [A]alone
If [D]you meet a girl named Shirley with
some [G]ribbons in her [Gm]hair
Would you [D]tell her that she's
[A]wanted on the phone
[D]

[Verse 5]
Readin' that [A]Tulsa telephone book,
can [G]drive a guy in[D]sane
Es[A]pecially if that [G]girl you're
lookin' [D]for has no last [A]name
[D]I gotta find her and tell her,
I don't [G]want our love to end
[Gm]So I'm readi[D]n' that Tulsa tele[A]
phone book again
[D][A]

[Verse 6]
I'm [D]readin' that Tulsa
[A]telephone book again
[D]
