- Title: OPERATOR (Jim Croce)
-
- G Bm C B Am7 G C B A G
- Operator oh could you help me place this call
- Am D Em D C B A G
- You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
- G Bm C B Am7 G C B A G
- She's living in L.A. with my best old ex-friend Ray
- Am D7 Em D C B A G
- A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
-
- G C G
- CHORUS: Isn't that the way they say it goes
- | C D
- | But lets forget all that
- | G Am
- | And give me the number if you can find it
- | C D Em Bm Am
- | So I can call just to tell her I'm fine and to show
- | D C G
- | I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
- | Am C
- | I only wish my words could just convince myself
- | D7 C G
- | That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels
-
- G Bm C (B) Am7 G C (B A G)
- Operator oh could you help me place this call
- Am D7 Em (D C B A G)
- Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
- G Bm C (B A G )
- There's something in my eye, you know it happens every time
- Am D7 Em (D C B A G)
- I think about the love that I thought would save me
-
-
- CHORUS
-
- G Bm C (B) Am7 G C (B A G)
- Operator let's forget about this call
- Am D7 Em (D C B A G)
- There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
- G Bm
- Thank you for your time,
- Bm C (B Am7 G C B A G)
- Cause you've been so much more than kind
- Am D7 Em D C B A G
- You can keep the dime
-
-
- CHORUS
