[Intro: ]Cm Cm/Bb F/A F7 

      Bb            Bb7  
These long lonely  evenings   here   
Eb          G7       Cm            F7 
I am on the phone   wondering  when she will  
Bb                       Bb7  
call she said  she would write me    
               Eb           G7 
 'cause  she  knows   I'm alone 
Cm            C7        F7  
but   I hear nothing at all  

    Bb                              Am    D7 
I'm waiting for  a word of love from sylvia 
       Gm              Gm7                Fm  Bb7  
You'd  think she never heard of love  my sylvia          
Eb                F/Eb      Dm 
 but when I'm  with her   lord, 
   G7                        Cm                         C7        Cm   
I forgive her   'cause she's more than the whole world to me       
F7          Bb                             Am  D7 
 there's nothing like a word of love from sylvia 
     Gm            Gm7            Fm  Bb7 Eb7  
The only one I'm thinking of is sylvia    feeling so sad  
 F/Eb  Dm      G7             Cm          F7        Bb    F#7  
    now I'll be so glad now If I just had my sylvia  with me  
       B           B7                 E         G#7        
That old  weeping willow  seems to whisper her name    
C#m         F#7    B                   B7 
 why did she go  away the tears on my pillow 
           E          G#7    C#m         C#7        
they're not hard to explain   there's nothing else I can  
C#m  F#7   B                                  A#m7  D#7  
say /    I'm   waiting  for   a word of love from sylvia    
       G#m            G#m7                F#m    B7 
you'd think she never heard of love my sylvia 
E          F#/E         D#m  
but when I'm  with    her  Lord, 
     G#7                    C#m                C#7       C#m   F#7  
I forgive her 'cause  she's more  than the whole world to me    /.  
          B                              A#m7  
There's  nothing like  a word  like my sylvia   
D#7         G#m            G#m7        F#m   B7 
         the only one I'm thinking of is sylvia 
E        F#/E     D#m           G#7 
feeling so sad  now I'd be so glad now 
C#m       F#7        B
