Telephone-
Daniel Butts
Written in Iraq While on Deployment with the Louisiana National Guard
Verses Picked with Chorus Strumed
G D
He was workin, far from home
Am Em
I was a boy of Fourteen, Felt like he was always gone
G d Em
but he called every night, over the telephone
G D
Heard her laugh, Heard my Mama cry
Am Em
Through those paper thin walls, late at night
G D Am
lyin' there, I swore that I was never gonna live my life
Em
.....Over the Telephone
Chorus-
G D
He'd call and say I love you
Am Em
Hear her smile and say I love you too
G D
they'd talk all about their day
Am Em
and all the things that they got to do
G D
Now I'm married, and we got a child
Am Em
everything was goin' good for a while
G D
but Uncle Sam , threw us a curve
Am Em
now I'm sittin' here alone on the other side of the world
G D
but I call, every night
Em
...over the telephone
G D
Heard her laugh, heard my wife cry
Am Em
through those long distant lines, late at night
G D Am
lyin' here, I pray that our son never has to live his life
Em
....over the telephone
Chorus:
G D
I call and Say I love you
Am Em
hear her smile and say I love you too
G D
we talk all about our day
Am Em
and all things that we had to do
G D
he was workin', far from home
Am Em
I was a boy of fourteen, seemed like he was always gone
G D (Picked Slow) Em
