[Intro 1]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
Operator, [C]operator,
I'm so glad that you rang my phone
Operator, operator,
I'm so glad that you found me home

[Verse 2]
I can [C]hear my long gone lover
I've waited such a [G]long long time
So please, operator
[F]Put him on the line,
I [C]want [Bb]him o[C]n [Bb]the line[C]
[G]I want h[C]im on the line
I wanna talk to [Bb]that [C]long
gone lover of mine

[Verse 3]
Operator, operator, there is static in my line
Did he say that his love was true?
Did he say that his love [G]was mine?
[F]Did he say he was coming home?
[C]Did he say where he has
[D]been?[G][C]
I can't hear [G]a word he's s[C]aying
If you keep [G]but[C]tin' [G]in,[C]
you [Bb]keep buttin' [C]in
You keep buttin' in
I wanna know if he's comin' home again

[Verse 4]
It shouldn't take [C]this much time
To clear my mind, ease my mind
Oh operator, please get straight
It's unfair to make me
[G]wait any longer
My curiosity is stronger
Don't you know that [F]it's wrong,
oh so wrong

[Verse 5]
Operator, operator, this [F]is very strange
What is the holdup here? Doesn't
he have the change
[C]Oh please operator,
if he don't have another dime
Reverse the charge to me
Put him on the line, I want him on the line
I want him on the line

[Verse 6]
I wanna talk to that [C]long gone lover of mine
