[Verse 1]
 Em*               D#aug   G/D
"Hello Honey, it's me!     What did you think,
         G/C#                 G/C     G/B
When you heard me back on the radio?
G/A                    G
What did the kids say, when they knew...
                G7/F              Em                           Em/B
...It was their long lost Daddy - O?"

[Verse 2]
     Em                    (Em/B)  C
Re - member how we listened to the radio,
      D                          G
And I said, 'That's the place to be!'
(G/A)      Em                      C           D               Am
       And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me?
       G                  (G/B) C                D                  Em
It was two kids, and I was into A.M. rock, but I just had to run a -round,
          Fmaj7               C
It's been eight years since I left you, babe,
(C/E)   D                          Am
 Let me tell you 'bout what's gone  ...down

C         (C/B)(C/A) G/B     (G/A)  G        D            Am   Asus2
   Playing all  the  hits for you,    wher - ever you may be,
G                     D                     Em         Em7   Fmaj7
   The bright 'Good - morning' voice, who's heard, but never seen,
C                 G             G/B
   Feeling all of forty - five,

[Verse 3]
    Em             (Em/B) C                D                G
The drinking I did, on my last big gig, it made my voice go low,
(G/A)     Em                       C                         Cmaj7
     They said that they liked the young sound----------------------,
                                              (Sound, sound, sound!)
 
D                Am       G               G/B  C
When they let me go, so I drifted on down to   Tulsa, Oklahoma,
   D                  Em
To do me a late night talk show,
         Fmaj7              C             (C/E)    D              Am
Now I've worked my way down ...home again, here to Boise in Ida - ho,
       D                 Am
That's how this business goes

[Bridge]
    Em                       Em
I'm making extra money doing High School sock hops,
D                                    F                      C
I'm a big-time guest M.C, you should hear me talking to the little children,
    D                       B                 B7
And listen what they say to me------
                          | /_/_/_/ /_/_/_/ | /_/_/_/ /_/_/_/ |
 
        Em                               D
I got a spot on the top of my head, just begging for a new toupee,
          F                        C
There's a tyre around my gut, from sitting on my...butt,
     D                  Em                            Em/B
It's never gonna go a - way!

[Verse 4]
Em              Em/B  C                   D                   G
Sometimes I get this  crazy dream, that I just take off in my car,
   (G/A)    Em/B          C                   D                    Am
But you can travel on ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are,
G               G/B    C                        D                 Em
Thinking that I should stop disc jockeying, and start that record store,
Fmaj7         C                     D                 Em*  D#aug  G/D   G/C#
Maybe I could settle down, if you'd take me back once more
 
[Verse 5]
Em*            D#aug    G/D                    G/C#
Okay, Honey, I see!   I guess he's better than me,
G/C               G/B             G/A                      G            G7/F
Sure, Old Girl, I understand, you don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man,
Em                Em                Em                Em
