If  I get the call
I  will call across  Radio America
Right  across America  I will call

)
 To take my love my love to you
There  a lovely young  girl on aboard
Walks  down here
And  all across Africa,  China and Australia
I  will call
Call  you down in  New Mexico
In  New Brighton and  Tokyo
I  will call
If  call I must do
)
 To take my love my love to you
 Run Down D-Db-D7 (do this by going D - D shape down one fret - then D7)
For  well it may hap' that these  are they
Your  happiest  days
Oh  my good old friend
I  see you chanced your arm again
you  cut you arm again
Red  faced president
Took  afternoon tea with her majesty the Queen
And  they watched old films flicker
Across  the old palace movie screen
What  a shame as she slipped in the rain
The  poor dancing girl she won't dance again
And  they  said it was a transmission
To  take my love my  love  to  you
Yes  This  was a transmission
To  take my love my  love  to  you
You  ooh ooh  ooh  ooh
You  ooh ooh  ooh  ooh
You  ooh ooh  ooh  ooh
You  ooh ooh  ooh  ooh
You  ooh ooh  ooh  ooh
You  ooh ooh  ooh  ooh
Only  to you
 Don't think its perfect, but its gigable. Others say the Rd faced president section is
 but it really doesn't fit.
