[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
     E                               A
It's lonely out tonight down here in Georgia
        E                              B7
And the oldest friend I've got I met today
    E                             A
The woman that I love just up and left me
        E                B7              E
And the place I love's a thousand miles away
 
[Verse 2]
E                      A
Operator hook me up to Houston
E                     B7
Get me anybody on the phone
E                                  A
Look there in your book and pick a number
           E               B7                E
'Cause you can't be choosy when you're this alone
 
[Chorus]
          A                 E
Won't you talk to me Texas, let me hear that drawl
  A                                  B7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call
          E                   A
Won't you talk to me Texas, I got these homesick blues
E             B7              E
Tell me I can come on home to you
 
[Verse 3]
  E                           A
I got this faded number in my wallet
     E                            B7
It's been in here a dozen years I know
  E                             A
I used to call it up when I was lonely
E                B7                 E
Lord, that woman sure could love me so
 
[Verse 4]
  E                                      A
I know by now she's probably changed her number
    E                                       B7
And with my luck she's probably changed her name
   E                                     A
If there's a chance in hell I think I'll take it
           E                 B7             E
'Cause I'd love to hear that woman's voice again
 
[Chorus]
             A                 E
So won't you talk to me Texas, let me hear that drawl
  A                                  B7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call
          E                   A
Won't you talk to me Texas, I got these homesick blues
E             B7              E
Tell me I can come on home to you
 
          A                 E
Won't you talk to me Texas, let me hear that drawl
  A                                  B7
I spent my last five dollars on this one long distance call
          E                   A
Won't you talk to me Texas, I got these homesick blues
E             B7              E     A
Tell me I can come on home to you
 
[Coda]
     E             B7              E      E
Hey, tell me I can come on home to you
