"The Red Telephone"
(Arthur Lee)
Bbadd#11 xx8760
Aadd9 xx7657
Intro
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1
Sitting on a hillside
Watching all the people die
I'll feel much better on the other side
I'll bum a ride
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 eyes
What are you seeing (I see...)
How do you feel?
(...you)
I feel real phony when my name is Phil
Or was that Bill?
Bridge
Bbadd#11 Aadd9 (x2)
/ / / / / / / /
Life goes on here
Day after day
I don't know if I am living or if I'm
Supposed to be
Sometimes my life is so eerie
And if you think I'm happy
Paint me (white)
(yellow)
Bbadd#11 Aadd9 (x2)
/ / / / / / / /
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 x3)
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
ahh....
(Repeat x3)
They're locking them up today
They're throwing away the key
I wonder who it'll be tomorrow, you or me?
We're all normal and we want our freedom
Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom
Freedom... freedom... freedom... freedom
continue with Am-A progression to fade
(spoken:) Alla God's chilluns gotta have dere freedom
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
