Echo Valley 2-6809
Words and Music by Rupert Holmes and Kathy Cooper
F Gm7/F Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7
We grew up together with ferris wheels and sunshine laughter
Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7 C
a rainbow love that lasted after the rain
F Gm7/F Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7
Now we're separated and I've become a lonely runner
Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7 Gm7 C7sus C7
and when I rest, I hurt and I wonder if I'll ever see you again
CHORUS:
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7
Echo Valley 2-6809
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7
I used to call that number all the time
Gm7 Gm7/C
But the last time that I called you
Am7 Bb Am7 Gm7 C7sus
we hung up cryin'
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7
Echo Valley 2-6809
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7
I can see it clearly in my mind
Gm7 Gm7C
But I'm scared to call 'cause it's been
Am7 Bb Am7 Gm7 C7sus
such a long, long time
F Gm7/F Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7
Never been much for writin', 'cause what do you say to a dream that's dyin'
Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G7 C7
a fragile lifeline that's untyin', oh no - oh, no
F Gm7/F Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7
I can't face the sunrise - lightin' up a road to nowhere
Bbmaj7 Am7 Dm7 Gm7 C7sus C7
where you are - I have to go there - are you waitin' - I've got to know
CHORUS:
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Echo Valley 2-6809
Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
I gotta call that number one more time
Gm7 Gm7/C Am7 Bb Am7 Gm7 C7sus
'Cause I've just got to know if you're still mine
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7 Fmaj9 Bbmaj7
Spoken: "Hello, operator? Get me Echo Valley 2-6809"
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7 Fmaj9 Bbmaj7
Operator: "You have reached a disconnected number"
CHORUS:
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7

Fmaj9 Bbmaj7 Am7 Gm7 C7sus
I shoulda called that number
Fmaj9 Bbmaj7
