----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Telephone Call From Istanbul ? Tom Waits ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a simple version in the same key as the version on "Frank's Wild Years", with complete lyrics. It owes a lot to Todd Olsen's tab, so thanks for the cues! F#m All night long on the broken glass Bm livin in a medicine chest C# mediteromanian hotel back F#m sprawled across a roll top desk F#m the monkey rode the blade on an overhead fan Bm they paint the donkey blue if you pay C# I got a telephone call from Istanbul F#m my baby's coming home today Chorus: Bm7 will you sell me one of those if I shave my head E get me out of town is what fireball said A never trust a man in a blue trench coat A never drive a car when you're dead Bm Saturday's a festival Friday's a gem C# dye your hair yellow and raise your hem F#m follow me to beulah's on dry creek road BC# I got to wear the hat that my baby done sewed Repeat chorus followed by: F#m take me down to buy a tux on red rose bear Bm got to cut a hole in the day C# I got a telephone call from Istanbul F#m my baby's coming home today Repeat chorus
