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

It could just be me... but I think it might sound better if the "D C B A G" part switch to "D C Bm Am G"
I am plucking 2 strings on every chord as follows and it seems to sound right:
When playing D and C chord- I pluck G and e strings
When playing Bm and Am Chord- I pluck D and B
When playing the G chord- I pluck E and B.
Otherwise, Great job. :D
I thought the D7 on "real" sounded a little better with a regular D. Maybe it's just me. Otherwise AWESOME job. Hope I learn to play better so I can do the D C B A G on time with the rhythm :D
I had to change the D C B A G part to make it a bit easier. (I sound terrible trying to do it ;D.) My version is down 7 notes, because I had to find the perfect thing that didn't have any weird sharps or flats.
