TELEPHONE CALL FROM ISTANBUL     TOM WAITS


 Em
All night long on the broken glass
 Am
Living in a medicine chest
 B7
Mediteromainian hotel back
  Em
Sprawled across a roll top desk.

     Em
The monkey rode the blade on an overhead fan
      Am
They paint the donkey blue if you pay
         B7
I got a telephone call from Istanbul...
    Em
My baby's comin home today

        Am7
Will ya Sell me one of those if i shave my head
 D
Get me out of town is what Fireball said
 G
Never trust a man in a blue trench coat
 G
Never drive a car when you're dead

 Am          
Saturday's a festival, Friday's a gem
 B7
Dye your hair yellow and raise your hem
 Em
Follow me to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road
       Am                            B7
I just got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed   


Take me down to buy a Tux on Red Rose Bear
Got to cut a hole in the day
I got a telephone call from Istanbul...
My baby's comin' home today
