A                                  E             AHere of late I feel so strange I'm happy and I'm sad
    E               E7                                     AThe way my feelings are sometimes I think they'll drive me mad
  A                                         E            AA pretty little girl with frizzy curls came here a week ago
    A             A/B A/C# D            E                ATo work upon the tel -e-  phone, And sh'said, hello, hello

A                                  E                AHello, hello, her sweet hello, her voice like music rings
     E                E7                                  AIt's sweeter than the whippoorwill, that in the moonlight sings
       A                               E             AAs the bell boy here at this hotel I'm always on the go
   A             A/B A/C# D              E              A E AAnd then she'll ring that telephone, and say hello, hello


[Verse 3]
  A                               E              AI haven't spoken to her yet, I've been in such a daze
   E                   E7                                    AAlthough sometimes she looks at me, with a sort of a distant gaze
       A                                E                AThat I feel so weak, I cannot speak, my heart is beating so
   A             A/B A/C# D              E              AAnd then she'll ring that telephone, and say hello, hello

  A                             E               AI see her as she walks along in sunshine and in rain
      E                  E7                     AI can hear her midst the jangle of the elevated train
    A                               E           AI'd buy for us a little place where honeysuckle grow
   A             A/B A/C# D               E              AShe could meet me at the  garden gate and say hello, hello

    A                               E               AIn about a year, she married me and then we settled down
     E             E7                         AIn a pretty little bungalow not very far from town
    A                              E                AAt night as I go home from work my heart is beating so
    A          A/B A/C# D       E            AShe'll kiss me at the door and  say hello, hello, hello
