Operator chords
Jim Croce *

G+G B minorBm          C majorC         G+G
Operator, well could you help me place this call
A minorAm          D MajorD          E minorEm D MajorD
See the number on the matchbook is old an faded
G+G         B minorBm
She's living in L.A
    C majorC         G+G
With my best old ex friend Ray
A minorAm        D7D7           E minorEm D MajorD C majorC B minorBm D MajorD
Guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

  G+G       C majorC        G+G
But isn't that the way they say it goes
       C majorC    D MajorD
But let's forget all that
  G+G           A minorAm
And give me the number if you can find it
C majorC D MajorD   E minorEm      D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
     D MajorD    C majorC
I've overcome the blow
        E minorEm   G+G
I've learned to take it well
    A minorAm   C majorC          G+G
I only wish my words could just convince myself
    C majorC      D MajorD
That it just wasn't real
  C majorC           G+G
But that's not the way it feels

G+G B minorBm          C majorC         G+G
Operator, well could you help me place this call
A minorAm           D MajorD          E minorEm   D MajorD
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
G+G            B minorBm
There's something in my eyes
      C majorC       G+G
You know it happens every time
 A minorAm       D7D7            E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC B minorBm D MajorD
I think about the love that I thought would save me

  G+G       C majorC        G+G
But isn't that the way they say it goes
      C majorC    D MajorD
But let's forget all that
  G+G           A minorAm
And give me the number if you can find it
C majorC D MajorD   E minorEm      D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show

     D MajorD    C majorC
I've overcome the blow
        E minorEm   G+G
I've learned to take it well
    A minorAm   C majorC          G+G
I only wish my words could just convince myself
    C majorC      D MajorD
That it just wasn't real
  C majorC           G+G
But that's not the way it feels
        C majorC           G+G
No, no, no, no, that's not the way it feels

G+G B minorBm       C majorC       G+G
Operator, let's forget about this call
A minorAm           D MajorD        E minorEm   D MajorD
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
G+G         B minorBm
Thank you for your time
        C majorC         G+G
Oh you've been so much more than kind
A minorAm   D7D7    E minorEm D MajorD C majorC B minorBm D MajorD
You can keep the dime

  G+G       C majorC        G+G
But isn't that the way they say it goes
       C majorC    D MajorD
But let's forget all that
  G+G           A minorAm
And give me the number if you can find it
C majorC D MajorD   E minorEm      D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
    D MajorD     C majorC
I've overcome the blow
        E minorEm   G+G
I've learned to take it well
    A minorAm   C majorC          G+G
I only wish my words could just convince myself
    C majorC      D MajorD
That it just wasn't real
  C majorC           G+G
But that's not the way it feels
