INTRO:   A 
 
                                                                         D 
I  was sitting by the phone,   I was waiting all alone 
 
                                                                       A 
Baby by myself and sit and wait and wonder about you. 
 
                                                                                        D 
It's a dark and dreary night, seems like nothing's going right. 
 
                                                                                     A 
Won't you tell me honey how can I go on here without you. 
 
E 
Yes I'm down and feeling blue, and I don't know what to do, oh?. 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
A                                                      E7 
Ring   Ring   why don't you give me a call 
 
                                                              A 
Ring   Ring  the happiest sound of them all. 
 
                                                               E 
Ring   Ring  I stare at the phone on the wall. 
 
         Bm                    
And I sit all alone impatiently, won't you please 
 
                                                E7 
Understand the need in me, so 
 
                                                         A 
Ring   Ring   why don't you give me a call. 
 
 
Verse 2:  I was here and now you're gone, hey did I do something wrong?  
I just can't believe that I could be so badly mistaken.  Was it me or was it you, tell me are we really through? 
Won't you hear me cry and will you know that my heart is breaking.  Please forgive and then forget, or maybe darling maybe yet? 
 
 
The guitar throughout the song copies most of the bass line.
