[D]
You met her at a party on Saturday night
She was drinking Advocaat
Her skin was smooth
And her jeans were tight
You didn't think she'd go that far
Ah well, she might have looked like a princess
[G]Why'd ya have to [F#]give her [G]your [C]add[E]ress
[D]'Cause you ain't safe when you get home
[E]She gonna [D]call ya on the tel[C]e[A]phone x 2
G -7-6-4---7-6-4---7-6-4-----------
D -------7-------7-------7-5-4-----
A -----------------------------7-5-
Chorus:
[D[Hey boy, that's Balwyn callin' x 3
[D]Get on the [C]phone, [D]'till ya been [F#]stall[D]in' x 2
It's just too easy when ya got to her flat
And she kicked off her platform shoes
You played around like a cat and a rat
And now you got the Balwyn blues
Well, you thought that she'd be a one nighter
[G]But now she wants to [F#]squeeze [G]you [C]tight[E]er
[D]'Cause you ain't safe when you get home
She gonna call ya on the telephone x 2
Chorus
She sure knows when she's got a good catch
And she just won't let go
She's been searchin' for the perfect match
Her ambition with your dough
A brick veneer prison is waiting for you
[G]You just [F#]smile while [G]she turns the [D]screw
You ain't safe when you get home
She gonna call ya on the telephone x 2
Chorus
Hey boy that's Balwyn callin' (quiet) x 4
Chorus
Get on the phone
And get out of Balwyn
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SKYHOOKS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
