Verse 1
E
It used to be so easy to
Am
A
use the telephone.
E
You'd pick it up and dial,
B
and they would answer if they were home.
E
But then the an swering machine
A
helped us cut the cord.
E
Now callers could be screened,
B
or better yet, ignored.
E
Then came call waiting.
A
Ah, we don't let that upset us.
E
Though I have come to call,
B
E
call waiting, chat us, interrupt us.
F#m
But there's a brand new service.
G#m
It's called Star 69.
A
It re dials the last person who called
you
B
and puts them back on the line.
E
There's call for warding,
there's beepers,
A
there's call conferencing
and such.
E
Hey, panoply of choices.
B
Some times it's all too much.
E
You see, there was a sweet young girl,
A
so trusting, so naive.
E
You could tell her anything
B
an d she would believe.
E
She met a computer repairman,
A
his name was Jim,
E
and it was just a matter of time
B
E
before she truly cared for him.
Though he crisscrossed the country,
A
he'd see her whenever he could.
E
She grew to love him deeply,
B
thought him kind,
and thought him good.
E
But there was one thing about him
A
she considered a minor quirk.
Am
E
He said he had no home phone,
B
E
she must contact him at work.
F#m
Then it was his beeper number
G#m
he instruc ted her to dial.
A
He'd always call her back
so fast
B
E
his haste would make her smile.
A
E
They carried on for months like this
A
until one rainy day.
E
She called him on the beeper.
B
E
He did not call back right away.
F#m
But when he did,
she heard background noises
G#m
that made her suspicious.
A
Was that babies crying?
B
Was that someone do ing dishes?
F#m
When they hung up,
she sat and pondered
G#m
for quite some time.
A
Then with shaky hand,
B
she dialed star 69.
E
A woman answered the telephone.
A
The young girl asked for Jim,
E
then quickly added, Who is this?
B
The woman said, I'm married to him.
E
The conversation that followed
A
was the kind that men most dread.
E
The young girl told the wife
B
E
F#m
everything her husband ever said, or ever did,
or bought, or promised her.
G#m
Then the wife had her say too
A
About the three young children
B
And how her income
pulled them through.
E
They talk, they cry, they talk, they laugh
A
Now you could say he's in a bind
E
All because the phone company
B
E
has given us star sixty -n ine.
Modern conveniences can help you
A
But they can backfire
E
If you are the kind of person
B
who is a liar.
E
In this global village,
A
it is best to tell the truth.
E
And be ware if someone's
courting you
B
E
from a telephone booth.
Yes, in this global village,
A
take this as a sign.
E
B
A
E
Remem ber that repairman in Star 69.
