Subject: MUSIC: OPERATOR (Jim Croce)

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
