A                           D 
Called you up this morning, but she wasn’t home 
A                        E 
All day I been wondering where you'd gone 
A                             D 
But you’ll never wonder about something like me 
A                         E    A 
You have left my heart in misery 

A                               D 
I was just just your sweetheart, but you were my love 
A                             E 
All day I been wondering what you’re thinking 
A                             D 
But you’ll never wonder about something like me 
A                         E    A 
You have left my heart in misery 

 
G                  A      E 
Gone is the love I safely had 
G                      A 
Some other day I’ll be doing well 

Verse: 2 
A                         D 
Picked up up the receiver on the telephone 
A                              E 
Calling out for pizza You were stoned 
A                          D 
All I’m gonna do about the pain in my back 
A                             E             A 
Is call up the local mart and order up some snacks 

A                      D 
Picked up the receiver on the telephone 
A                        E 
Calling out for Chinese, leave me alone 
A                                   D 
But I couldn’t order couldn’t order no mein nor even beer 
A                              E       A 
They were closing early it was Chinese New Year 


G                A      E 
All of us goners nobody right 
G                A 
All of us goners singing in the night 

Bridge 
A                  D 
I am going up on a high old mountain hill 
A                                           E 
And look down at the place where we used to live 
A                       D 
And then I will see you in my minds eye 
A                         E      D 
A drunken old desert hawk flying by 

 
G                A      E 
All of us goners nobody right 
A                A 
All of us goners singing in the night
