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 ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
