Capo 1
[Verse 1]
C G C G
No New Year`s day, to celebrate,
C DmM7
no chocolate covered candy hearts to give away.
Dm DmM7 Dm DmM7
No first of spring, no song to sing,
Dm G C
in fact here`s just another ordinary day.
C G C G
No April rain, no flowers bloom,
C Dm DmM7
no wedding Saturday within the month of June.
Dm DmM7 Dm DmM7
But what it is, is something true,
Dm G C
made up of these three words that I must say to you.
[Chorus]
Dm G C
I just called to say I love you,
F G Am
I just called to say how much I care.
Dm G C
I just called to say I love you,
F G C
and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
[Verse 2]
C G C G
No summer`s high, no warm July,
C Dm DmM7
no harvest moon to light one tender August night.
Dm DmM7 Dm DmM7
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves,
Dm G C
not even time for birds to fly to southern skies.
C G C G
No Libra Sun, no Halloween,
C Dm DmM7
no giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring.
Dm DmM7 Dm DmM7
But what it is, though old, so new.
Dm G C
to fill your heart like no three words could ever do.
[Chorus]
Dm G C
I just called to say I love you,
F G Am
I just called to say how much I care.
Dm G Am
I just called to say I love you,
F G C
and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
