I don't know who original artist was, but it was re-recorded in
the late 70's or early 80's, perhaps by Jessie Coulter. I originally
transcribed it from an old record from the late 50's by a local artist
named Lefty Williams.

I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU CALLING MY NAME (key of C)
You [C]said good-bye to [C7]me early this [F]morning
And with [C]only these few words did you ex[G7]plain
You [C]said you found some[C7]one you love [F]better
But I [C]still hear your [G7]voice call my [C]name
CHORUS:
I thought I heard you [C7]calling my [F]name
[C]Funny I still feel this [G7]way
Your [C]voice seemed so [C7]close but I [F]knew
That by [C]now, you're [G7]many mile a[C]way
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
I [C]walk through the [C7]streets of this old [F]city
[C]People passing me seem to [G7]say
He's (she's) [C]talking but there's [C7]no-one be[F]side him (her)
But I [C]still hear your [G7]voice call my [C]name
REPEAT CHORUS
(last line twice)
