D                  A      D     A 
No New Year`s day, to celebrate, 
             D                             Em Em7 
no chocolate covered candy hearts to give away. 
            Em      Em7        Em Em7                    
No first of spring, no song to sing, 
        Em                  A        D
in fact here`s just another ordinary day. 
  
Verse:   
D                 A       D    A                   
No April rain, no flowers bloom, 
           D                            Em  Em7 
no wedding Saturday within the month of June. 
            Em  Em7          Em  Em7                    
But what it is, is something true, 
           Em                     A             D
made up of these three words that I must say to you. 
  
Chorus:
       Em        A     D              
I just called to say I love you, 
       G         A              Bm 
I just called to say how much I care. 
       Em        A     D                       
I just called to say I love you, 
      G                A            D 
and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. 
  
Verse:  
            D     A       D  A
No summer`s high, no warm July, 
           D                               Em  Em7 
no harvest moon to light one tender August night. 
          Em      Em7        Em    Em7 
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves, 
         Em                A               D
not even time for birds to fly to southern skies. 

Verse:
         D    A        D  A                 
No Libra Sun, no Halloween, 
          D                                   Em   Em7 
no giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring. 
            Em  Em7            Em  Em7 
But what it is, though old, so new. 
             Em                  A                D 
to fill your heart like no three words could ever do.

       A          B     Dbm
