[F] [C] [Dm] [F]
Operator, can you help me?
Help me if you please.
[Bb] Give me the right [Gm] area code [F] and the number that I need.
[G] My rider left [C] up on the midnight cloud, [Dm] singing like a [F] summer breeze.
I think she's somewhere down south, down about Baton Rouge.
[Bb] But I just can't remember no [F] number, a number I can use.
[G] Directly don't have [C] it, sent for, done, forgotten.
[D] Got [G] to find a number [F] to use.

[Bb] Operator said that's privileged information [F] and it ain't no business of mine.
[G] It's flooding down in Texas, [C] the polls are out in Utah.
[Dm] Got to find a [F] private line.
She could be hanging around a steel mill, working in a house with blue lights.
[Bb] Riding the getaway bus out of Portland, [F] talking through the night.
