# "The Red Telephone"
# (Arthur Lee)
#
#Intro:
#
Verse 1:
[C]Sitting on a [Am]hill[G]sid[F#7]e
Watching all the p[F]eo[F#]ple d[D]ie
I'll f[G]eel much b[C]etter on the o[E]ther s[A]ide
I'll bum a r[Am]ide [G] [F#7] [F] [F#]
Verse 2/3:
I believe in magic
Why, because it is so quick
I don't need power when I'm hypnotized
Look in my e[Am]yes [G]
[F#7]What are you seeing ([F]I s[F#]ee...)
How do you fe[D]el?
(...you)
I f[G]eel real p[C]hony when my n[E]ame is P[A]hil
Or was that B[Am]ill? [G] [F#7] [F] [F#]
Bridge:
BbaddE [xx8760] AaddB [xx7657] [2X]
[BbaddE]Life goes on [AaddB]here
[BbaddE]Day after [AaddB]day
[E]I don't know[Fmaj7] if I am living or if I'm
[C]Supposed to [E]be
[D]Sometimes my life is so e[C]erie
[D]And if you think I'm happy
[C]Paint[G/B] me (wh[A]ite)
(yellow)
BbaddE AaddB [2X]
I've been here once
I've been here twice
I don't know if the third's the fourth or if
The fifth's the fix
Sometimes I deal with numbers
And if you wanna count me
Count me out
Verse 4:
I don't need the time of day
Anytime with me's OK
I just don't want you using up my time
[Am]
'Cause that's not right
Coda:
[repeat 3X:]
ahh....
[repeat 3X:]
They're l[Am]ocking them up today
They're throwing away the key
I [A]wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me?
[Am]We're all normal and we want our freedom
[A]Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom
[Am]Freedom... freedom... freedom... f[A]reedom
[continue with Am-A progression to fade]
(spoken:) Alla God's chilluns gotta have dere freedom
