(Capo 1st fret)

 

                          C       

No New Years Day to celebrate

                                                                         Dm Dm7

No chocolate-covered candy hearts to give away

                   Dm Dm+M7         Dm Dm+M7

No first of spring, no song to sing

                       Dm              G             C   

In fact here's just another ordinary day.

                 C

No April rain, no flowers' bloom, 

                                                                       Dm  Dm7

No wedding Saturday within the month of June

                 Dm Dm+M7        Dm  Dm+M7

But what it is  is something true

                      Dm              G                                     C

Made up of these three words that I must say to you.



Refrain:

           Dm         G              C    

I just called to say I love you

            Dm        G                       Am 

I just called to say how much I care

           Dm        G      Am    

I just called to say I love you

            Dm                      G                    C 

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.



No summer's high, no warm July, 

No harvest moon to light one tender August night.

No autumn breeze, no falling leaves,

Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies.



No Libra sun, no Halloween, 

No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring,

But what it is, though old so new, 

To fill your heart like no three words could ever do.

Refrain:

I just called to say I love you. 

I just called to say how much I care.

I just called to say I love you 

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.



(Move the chords two frets higher)

I just called to say I love you. 

I just called to say how much I care.

I just called to say I love you 

And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

This song is lovingly dedicated to
