[Guitar Tone:]
==============
Guitar:
Ricky played this live on an Epiphone ET-290 (1970s Matsumoko built guitar
that's in the shape of Epiphone Coronet, Crestwood, Olympic, and Wilshire models.)
The guitar had Gibson-style Humbuckers on it, and a bolt-on neck.
Strings:
.056, .044, .034, empty, .018p, .014p.
(I'm not 100% clear on this, but I base it on one of the
Tuning Notebooks.)
Guitar Pick: 1mm or 1.14mm should get close.
Guitar Amp: Not sure, but ein live photos from 1979, you can see them using a Fender Twin Reverb.
In Live Photos from 1980, you can see a Mesa Boogie Mark II.
Guitar Amp Settings: I also am not sure of these.

[Lyrics:]

"6-0-6-0-8-4-2!
Tina went to the ladies' room,
saw written on the wall;
"If you'd like a very nice time, just give this numebr a call."
It was
6-0-6-0-8-4-2!
And I'm waiting for you!
6-0-6-0-8-4-2!
And I'm waiting for you!
Tina reached in her pocketbook,
pulled out a thin dime
Dropped in the plone slot
prayed she gets the line
It was
6-0-6-0-8-4-2!
And I'm waiting for you!
6-0-6-0-8-4-2!
And I'm waiting for you!
Dial the number to call
Get no answer at all
Dime's in the slot, ready to drop
Uh, 6 0 6 0 8 4 2?
I've been trying all day,
and I'm making no head way.
Operater, WHAT'S WRONG?
I DIAL STUPID NUMBER ALL DAY LONG!
Operator said:
"Your Number's been Disconneted,
Your Number's been Disconneted,
Your Number's been Disconneted,
Your Number's been Disconneteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed."
Hello?
'Sorry.'
Hello?
'Sorry!'
HELLO?
'Sorry.'"
