[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

I... am the morning DJ at W. O. L. D. D-D-D! (O. L. D.)
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,
D D/F# Em Em/B
Going on fif - teen

[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!
||: /_/_/_/ /_/_/_/ | /_/_/_/ /_/_/_/:||x2
[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
W . O . L . D.! W . O . L . D.! W . O . L . D.! W . O . L . D.!
