Operator by Jim Croce


                   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
