  			A               A7                     D 
Spent a week in Houston and watched it rain 
E                             A 
Spent a day in Dallas missing planes 
                A7               D 
And it sure was cold up in Montreal 
E                            A 
I thought of you I should've called 
 
Acapulco lying in the sun 
Smoking that old gold and drinking lots of rum 
Mexicali ladies tan and tall 
I thought of you I should've called 

D           E              A 
In spite of all my good intentions 
D        A                 E 
I am the one who built the wall 
A        A7              D 
All by myself who'd ever thought 
E                            A 
I sure miss you I should've called 
 
California's nice this time of year 
Colorado's fine and they've got good beer 
Back in Tennessee it's an early fall 
I still love you I should've called 
 
Chorus
