A                 D
Spent last winter playing in the sand
A                         D        
With the prisoners of the motherland
A             D              E
Damn hotel is feeling like a cell

A                 D                  
And even paradise can be so cruel
A              D             
Sitting by the swimming pool
A                 D
Trying to keep my head together
A               D
In that hot Australia weather

A                      D                     E
Three days to kill and my per diem's getting low

'Cause I spent all my money calling long distance
Bm                     D                    A    D
Calling long distance, such a long way from home

Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance,
     D                             E           
long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance

        A                  D
Now the Road Hog's face is turning red
A              D
Larry's still asleep in bed
A              D              E
Romeo he can't get no head at all
        A               D
And the Doctor looks on so annoyed
A                  D
You disappoint me, Mr. Boyd
        A                     D               E                
And the Electric Dwarf wishes he was six foot tall

    Bm
Now Romeo's patience is wearing thin
A           D
C'mon baby, let me in
     A                       D                   E
It's five a.m. and I've been creeping 'round the hall
Bm                                     F#m-E-F#m   F#m                    
  
Got no resistance calling long distance
    Bm                 D                         A    D
You sound so close but your such a long way from home


F#m             E              F#m            E
Am I talking to long distance, can you put me through?
F#m                            E             
Twelve thousand miles but I've got not resistance,
     D                             E 
long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance

Now Road Hog's getting drunk again
      A           D
And I only get to hold my pen

Instead of what I love to hold the most


  Bm                      
I feel so lonesome I could cry
A                  D
Count the hours as they roll by
A       
It's day time now
  D                 E
I think I'll make a call

You're such a long way from home

Have to admit I got no resistance to the red light on the wall

The message said I got a call,

long distance, long distance, long distance, long distance
