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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JIM CROCE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
