Intro
| [C] | [C] [Cmaj7/G] | [C] | [C]*
Verse 1
[C] [Cmaj7/G] [C]
No New Year`s day, to cele - brate,
[Cmaj7/G] [C] [Dm]
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away.
[DmM7] [Dm] [DmM7] [Dm7]
No first of spri-ing, no song to sing,
[DmM7] [Dm] [Dm7] [Gsus4] [G] [C] [C]*
In fact here`s just another ordi- nary day.
Verse 2
[C] [Cmaj7/G] [C]
No April rain, no flowers bloom,
[Cmaj7/G] [C] [Dm]
No wedding Saturday within the month of June.
[DmM7] [Dm] [DmM7] [Dm7]
But what it i- is, is something true,
[DmM7] [Dm] [Dm7] [Gsus4] [G] [C] [C]*
Made up of these three words that I must say to you.
Chorus
[Dm] [G] [C] [C]
I just called to say I love you,
[Dm] [G] [Am] [Am]
I just called to say how much I care.
[Dm] [G] [Am] [Am]
I just called to say I love you,
[Dm7] [Gsus4] [G] [C] [C]*
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Verse 3
[C] [Cmaj7/G] [C]
No summer`s high, no warm July,
[Cmaj7/G] [C] [Dm]
No harvest moon to light one tender August night.
[DmM7] [Dm] [DmM7] [Dm7]
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves,
[DmM7] [Dm] [Gsus4] [G] [C] [C]*
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies.
Verse 4
[C] [Cmaj7/G] [C]
No Libra Sun, no Hallo - ween,
[Cmaj7/G] [C] [Dm]
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring.
[DmM7] [Dm] [DmM7] [Dm7]
But what it i-i-i-is, though old, so new.
[DmM7] [Dm] [Dm7] [Gsus4] [G] [C] [C]*
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do.
[Chorus] (key change)
[Ebm] [Ab] [Db] [Db]
I just called to say I love you.
[Ebm] [Ab] [Bbm] [Bbm]
I just called to say how much I ca-a-are, I do.
[Ebm] [Ab] [Bbm] [Bbm]
I just called to say I love you.
[Ebm] [Absus4] [Ab] [Db]
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
[Chorus] (another key change)
[Em] [A] [D] [D]
I just called to say I love you.
[Em] [A] [Bm] [Bm]
I just called to say how much I care.
[Em] [A] [Bm] [Bm]
I just called to say I love you.
[Em] [Asus4] [A] [D]
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Coda
1 + 2 + 3
[Bb] [C] [C] | [D] | % | % | [D] [D] [D] [D]
Of my heart, of my heart.
