Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: A Phonebook Full of Names
Subject: Lyr Add: A PHONE BOOK FULL OF NAMES
I've been able to dredge up the lyrics to this lovely, sad, but too-short song, which are below. I would still sure like to have the chords, though.

A PHONE BOOK FULL OF NAMES

A phone book full of names
Means nothing at all
If the one you love don't answer when you call.

What good is a phone book
Names from A to Z
If my fine baby won't talk to me?

A phone book full of names
Don't mean a thing
If the one you love don't answer when you ring!

From Carl Sandburg's American Songbag, must have been the 1950 edition DRO
