Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: E

[Intro]
E7
 
 
[Verse 1]
E7
Well you covered your tracks and now I can't see you
E7
you had your ashes scattered at sea
E7
There's no grave to visit, no tombstone to look at
E7
you were in the New York Times obituary
A7
There's no record, no tape, no book, no movie
A7
some photographs and memories
E7
Sometimes I dial your phone number by mistake
E7
and this is what I hear
 
[Chorus]
E7
This is no longer a working number, baby
E7
please redial your call
E7
This is no longer a working number
E7
your party doesn't live here anymore
E7
This is no longer a working number
E7
if you still require help
E7
Stay on the line and an operator
E7
will try to bail you out
 
 
[Verse 2]
E7
I knew I should have seen you that Thursday
E7
I knew I shouldn't have left
E7
But you sounded so good, your spirits so up
E7
I thought I'd see you next week
A7
I say over and over if I had half a brain
A7
if I had half a brain in my head
E7
I wouldn't sit here dialing a wrong number
E7
and listening to what some recording said
E7
This is no longer a working number
E7
please redial your call
E7
This is no longer a working number
E7
your party doesn't live here anymore
E7
This is no longer a working number
E7
well, if you still require help
E7
Stay on the line and an operator
E7
will try to bail you out
 
 
[Verse 3]
E7
I knew I should have written, written things down
E7
I always say I'll never forget
E7
Who can forget a one-eyed pilot
E7
who's a concert pianist, ah
A7
A painter, a poet, songwriter supreme
A7
my friends are blending in my head
E7
They're melting into one great spirit
E7
and that spirit isn't dead
E7
Now I may not remember everything that you said
E7
but I remember all the things that you've done
E7
And not a day goes by not an hour
E7
when I don't try to be like you
A7
You were gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
A7
and you were that way all of the time
E7
So I guess you know why I'm laughing at myself
E7
every time I dial the wrong line
 
 
[Outro]
E7
This is no longer a working number, baby
E7
This is no longer a working number
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
E7
Gassed, stoked and rarin' to go
