Verse 1

C                                    F
It's lonely out tonight down here in Georgia
        C                            G7
And the oldest friend I've got I met today
    C                             F
The woman that I love just up and left me
        C              G7             C
And the place I love a thousand miles away

Verse 2

                       F
Operator hook me up to Houston
C                     G7
Get me anybody on the phone
C                                  F
Look there in your book and pick a number
          C               G7               C
Cause you can't be choosy when you're this alone

Verse 3

          F                C
Won't you talk to me Texas let me hear that draw
  F                                  G7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call
          C                  F
Won't you talk to me Texas I got these homesick blues
C             G7              C
Tell me I can come on home to you

Verse 4

                              F
I got this faded number in my wallet
     C                            G7
It's been in here a dozen years I know
  C                             F
I used to call it up when I was lonely
C               G7                 C
Lord that women sure could love me so

Verse 5

                                         F
I know by now she's probably changed her number
    C                                       G7
And with my luck she's probably changed her name
   C                                     F
If there's a chance in hell I think I'll take it
          C                 G7            C
Cause I'd love to hear that woman's voice again

Verse 3

          F                C
Won't you talk to me Texas let me hear that draw
  F                                  G7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call
          C                  F
Won't you talk to me Texas I got these homesick blues
C             G7              C
Tell me I can come on home to you

I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call
          C                  F
Won't you talk to me Texas I got these homesick blues

Tell me I can come on home to you
