  Verse:

           D                         A

  Somebody told her that there was a place like heaven=20

  Across the water on a seven-fortyseven=20

  D                 Bm    A      D        Bm  A

  Yeah, we're living in a modern world.

  D                            A

  And pretty soon she's really got the notion=20

     Bm                    G

  Of flying out across the big blue ocean=20

  D                 Bm    A      D (D-Bm-G-A)

  Yeah, we're living in a modern world.

  

  Pre-Chorus:

  F#               Bm

  Talk is cheap on satellite=20

      G            Em C

  But all I get is static=20

  F#   Bm      F#        Bm

  Information, I'm still here=20

  I'm out in space, trying to talk to someone=20

  There must be something going wrong=20

  That number just rings on and on.

  

  Chorus:=20

        Calling America (can't get a message through)=20

        Calling America (that's what she said to do)=20
