[Intro]: D-Adim* x 2
D Adim*
If I get the call
D Adim*
I will call across Radio America
D Adim*
Right across America I will call
D Adim*
Yes I will call all across Radio America
D Adim*
Right across America I will call
If call I must do
To take my love my love to you
D Adim*
There a lovely young girl on aboard
D Adim*
Walks down here
D Adim*
And all across Africa, China and Australia
D Adim*
I will call
D Adim*
Call you down in New Mexico
D Adim*
In New Brighton and Tokyo
D Adim*
I will call
If call I must do
To take my love my love to you
Run Down D-Db-D7 (do this by going D - D shape down one fret - then D7)
For well it may hap' that these are they
Your happiest days
Oh my good old friend
I see you chanced your arm again
DAdim*
you cut you arm again
Red faced president
Took afternoon tea with her majesty the Queen
And they watched old films flicker
Across the old palace movie screen
What a shame as she slipped in the rain
The poor dancing girl she won't dance again
And they said it was a transmission
To take my love my love to you
Yes This was a transmission
To take my love my love to you
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
D F#m Bm [ch]A7/ch]
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
You ooh ooh ooh ooh
D - Adim*
Only to you
Don't think its perfect, but its gigable. Others say the Rd faced president section is
but it really doesn't fit.
