Telephone Call From Istanbul Tom Waits
A[Em]ll night long on the broken glass
L[Am]iving in a medicine chest
M[B7]editeromainian hotel back
Sp[Em]rawled across a roll top desk.
The m[Em]onkey rode the blade on an overhead fan
They p[Am]aint the donkey blue if you pay
I got a t[B7]elephone call from Istanbul...
My b[Em]aby's comin home today
Will ya [Am7]Sell me one of those if i shave my head
G[D]et me out of town is what Fireball said
N[G]ever trust a man in a blue trench coat
N[G]ever drive a car when you're dead
S[Am]aturday's a festival, Friday's a gem
D[B7]ye your hair yellow and raise your hem
F[Em]ollow me to Beulah's on Dry Creek Road
I just [Am]got to wear the hat that my ba[B7]by done sewed
Take me down to buy a Tux on Red Rose Bear
Got to cut a hole in the day
I got a telephone call from Istanbul...
My baby's comin' home today
