Chords for Operator - Jim Croce (Acoustic cover by Chris Goodwin)

_ _ Hey everyone, here's something completely different.
Happy New Year, by the way.
_ Here's something completely different, kind of.
It's a folk song anyways, by Jim Croce, an old buddy of mine, Mike.
From back in the day, Mike Reynolds.
Shout out to him.
_ Introduced me to Jim Croce, and this is my favorite song he ever did.
This is Operator.
Kind of a tricky song for me, but I kind of made my own version.
Hopefully it's okay.
If you enjoy it, share it, like it on YouTube or Facebook or whatever.

Whatever.
Whatever you want to do.

_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] Operator, _ _ [B] can you help me [G] place this call?
_ _ [Am] _ See the number [D] on the matchbox is [Em] old and faded.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ She's living in [Bm] LA _ _ [C] with my best [B] old ex-friend [G] Ray.
_ _ [Am] _ Gosh, she [D] said that she knew well, but [Em] sometimes hated.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _
Isn't that the way they say it goes?
Well, let's [D] forget all that.
[G] _ Give me the number [Am] if you [C] came finding, so [Em] I can call [G] just to tell her I'm fine and [Am] to show.
_ _ [D] _
I've [C] overcome the blow, I've learned to take it [G] well.
I only wish my [Am] words could just convince [C] myself that it just [D] wasn't real.
[D] _ _ That's not the way [G] it feels.

_ [D] _
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] There's something in my [Bm] eye.
_ _ You know [Em] it happens every time.
[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] Think [D] about the love that I thought [Em] would save me.
_ _ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _
_ Isn't that the way they say it goes?
_ [C] Well, let's forget [D] all that.

_ _ _ That's not the way it feels.
_ _ _ [Bm] Operator, _ [C] well, let's forget about [G] this call.
_ _ [Am] _ There's no [D] one there I really [Em] wanted to talk to. _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ Thank you for [Bm] your time.
