Hanging On The Telephone by Blondie
Standard tuning
N.C. Eb
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
[Gm]If you don't answer, I'll just [Eb]ring it off the wall
[Gm]I know he's there, but [Eb]I just got to call
Don't leave me [Eb]hanging on the [Cm]telep[Gm]hone
Don't leave me [Eb]hanging on the [Cm]telep[Gm]hone
[Gm]I heard your mother now she's [Eb]going out the door
[Gm]Did she go to work or [Eb]just go to the store?
[Gm]All those things she said, I t[Eb]old you to ignore
Oh, why can't we [Cm]talk again[Gm]
Oh, why can't we [Cm]talk again[Gm]
Oh, why can't we [Cm]talk again
Don't leave me [Cm]hanging on the [Bb]telep[Gm]hone
Don't leave me [Cm]hanging on the [Bb]telep[Gm]hone
N.C. Eb
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
[Gm]If I don't get your call then [Eb]everything goes wrong
[Gm]I want to tell you something [Eb]you've known all along
Don't leave me [Eb]hanging on the [Cm]telep[Gm]hone
(Thought I'd better put the solo in since it absolutely rocks.)

N.C. Eb
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
[Gm]Your voice across the line gives [Eb]me a strange sensation
[Gm]I'd like to talk when I can [Eb]show you my affection
Oh, I can't con[Cm]trol myself[Gm]
Oh, I can't con[Cm]trol myself[Gm]
Oh, I can't con[Cm]trol myself
Don't leave me [Cm]hanging on the [Bb]telep[Gm]hone
Hang [Eb]up and run to me
[Gm]Woah, hang [Eb]up and run to me
[Gm]Woah, hang [Eb]up and run to me
[Gm]Woah, hang [Eb]up and run to me
[Gm]Woah oh oh oh [Eb]oh run to me
Then the last part of the solo repeats once more -
